Mozambique Island: A UNESCO World Heritage Site to Discover

Noor Momade, CEO of Cotur, gives an overview of Mozambique Island and explains why it is a must and why people from all over the world should go for it.

“Mozambique Island is among the world’s most beautiful islands and that’s the place where Mozambique’s story as a country started. It was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Besides this, it remains authentic and remains as it was in the 40s, 50s or 60s. It retains its original charm. The old designs and architecture are very well maintained. Restoration work is underway, while ensuring things look the same as what they did originally”, says Noor Momade.

“It’s also a clean place and offers some beautiful coastline. If you go there, you’ll see that people as such are not modern or fancy people. They are still like people from the old days, in terms of the way they dress, the way they speak and how they receive you. They are very humble and sweet people. It’s something very different. If you go to Mozambique Island, you will get the feeling you are stepping back in time, so it’s a unique place. This is why we advise tourists visiting Mozambique not to miss Mozambique Island, given its special character, different to anything else you will see in the world”, he adds.
