Iconi (historic town south of Moroni): forbidden

Rules in force · 6Broken pavements and heatCover shoulders and knees in town, for women and men alike
  • Comoros ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport with the Comorian authorities before booking; visas on arrival have been available for many nationalities, but confirm before you fly.
  • Comoros ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for your route.
  • Comoros ↗Inter-island flights and boats are irregular and sea crossings can be unsafe in rough weather; prefer flights and keep a buffer day.
  • Grande Comore (Ngazidja) ↗Climb Mount Karthala only with a local guide, and check its status with your guide first: eruptions and gas emissions have closed the crater in the past.
  • Moroni ↗Broken pavements and heat: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Moroni ↗Cover shoulders and knees in town, for women and men alike; swimwear only at hotel beaches.
