Nestled in the Indian Ocean, the Comoro Islands form a captivating archipelago between the eastern coast of Africa and Madagascar. For centuries, Comorian sailors have navigated the seas in traditional Arab boats called boutres, heading toward the Red Sea.
These four islands are not only a visual delight but also a feast for the senses. The air is filled with the rich aromas of cloves, nutmeg, Ylang-Ylang, and vanilla, which travel across the islands before being exported worldwide. This abundance of spice plantations has earned Comoros the nickname "the perfumed archipelago."
Explore the local economy and uncover the traditional methods behind these world-renowned spices, and see how this island paradise has become famous for its fragrant exports.
