Foumbouni
A historic port town on the southeast coast of Grande Comore, once a Badjini sultanate center, with old walls, a mosque and crowded fishing boats along the shore.
Foumbouni is the largest town in the southeast of Grande Comore and was once the center of the Badjini sultanate. The old town preserves parts of its lava-stone walls, city gates and an ancient mosque. The harbor is packed with colorful dugout canoes, and life moves at a slow pace. It can serve as a stop on the southern island tour, passing the Singani lava flows and villages on Karthala's southern slopes. It lies about 1.5 hours' drive from Moroni.
