Trou du Prophète is a small bay at the northern tip of Grande Comore, enclosed by black lava headlands. Legend says that an emissary of the Prophet Muhammad landed here by boat, which gave the place its name. The bay is calm, with white sand, and the reefs are good for snorkeling. Several holiday guesthouses are nearby. It lies about 3 km from Mitsamiouli and can be combined with Lac Salé and Mitsamiouli Beach.
