Les médinas des Sultanats historiques des Comores by Michael Novins

Anjouan -- In August 2016, I flew on Inter Îles Air (http://www.inter-iles-air.com) from Dzaoudzi–Pamandzi International Airport located in Mayotte to Ouani Airport in Anjouan. I had arranged through Laka Lodge on Moheli, where I stayed later in my trip, for an English-speaking guide to meet me at the airport. I visited the Medina of Mutsamudu, one of the medinas in the Sultanats Historiques des Comores tentative World Heritage Site, where I spent the morning wandering the medina's narrow lanes and visiting its main market. Visitors can contact my guide, Djonfar, directly (moukouboi (at) yahoo.com or +269 328-2490).

Grand Comoro -- I visited Moroni in August 2016, when I stayed at Itsandra Hotel (http://www.itsandrahotel.com/portal/index.php/en/), a short ride from Moroni. I visited the Medina of Moroni, which is part of the Sultanats Historiques des Comores tentative World Heritage Site, including the Ancienne Mosquée de Vendredi (old Friday mosque), which is the oldest mosque in the medina.
