Dzembé-Houani is a town on the island of Grande Comore in the Union of the Comoros, Africa, located about 15 kilometers south of the capital, Moroni. A densely populated area in the Comoros, it is situated on the coastal plain of a volcanic island with a typical equatorial oceanic climate that is warm and humid all year round.
The economy of Zembehou is based on agriculture and fishing, with an abundance of spice crops such as vanilla and cloves, and it retains its Swahili culture and traditional architecture. The town is characterized by a mix of mosques and colonial buildings, and the streets are filled with a mixture of Arab and African life. The local people are mostly engaged in small-scale trade and handicrafts, especially famous for wood carving and weaving.
As a waypoint to the Kartala volcano, Zengbeihu is a stopover for hiking enthusiasts. The surrounding area is dotted with black volcanic rocky beaches and coconut palm landscapes with far-reaching views of the deep blue waters of the Indian Ocean. The town is small, but with its pristine nature and simple folklore, it is an important window to experience Comorian native culture.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
