1. The welcome for Comorians
On descending from the plane, you'll be placed a flower necklace around your neck and probably invited to drink ginger tea whilst eating samboussas. Imagine the same scene at Charles de Gaulle...

2. Nature and hiking
The Comoros are volcanic islands where nature is still very much present. The steep slopes of the Comorian hills make them an exceptional playground for hiking enthusiasts.

3. Coconut-fringed beaches
Because it's hard to find a better way to relax than drinking a coconut facing the blue of the Indian Ocean. .

The beauty of the seabed
The Comoros are among the best diving spots in the world. On a snorkelling session at Mohéli Marine Park, you can spot green turtles, Manta rays, and squid.

5. Perfumes
The Comoros are nicknamed the «perfume islands», and not without reason! The main crops grown on the archipelago are vanilla, cloves, and ylang-ylang, a flower with an intoxicating scent beloved by perfumers.

6. Sunday picnics
Sunday is sacred! Traditionally, men take advantage of this day to organise "voulés" (picnics) on the beach. On the menu: "mabawas" (grilled chicken wings), grilled fish or octopus, accompanied by fried bananas or breadfruit.

7. A rich and diverse culture
The Comorian people are a mix of Persians and peoples from East Africa. Here, tradition and religion are closely linked. Perhaps you will be lucky enough to witness a grand wedding ceremony and discover the traditional dances and outfits.

8. Exotic fruits
Coconuts, mangoes, bananas, pineapples, papayas, passion fruits, lychees, guavas, oranges, carambolas, soursops, jackfruits, sugar apples, Malay apples... Each month has its favourite fruit!

9. The discovery of a country still protected from mass tourism
The Comoros welcomes few visitors each year. Thus, the landscapes remain authentic and hotel facilities are simple. Visiting the Comoros is above all about meeting the inhabitants in their environment. And you don't need four-star hotels for that!

10. Ambient pacifism
The Comoros is a country where peace reigns daily. You can move around freely in the streets at any hour and feel safe there.
