According to itypeusa, Comoros is an archipelago of four islands located in the Indian Ocean, around 250km from the east coast of Africa. It is bordered by Mozambique to the west and Madagascar to the east. The capital city of Comoros is Moroni and its official language is French. The currency used in Comoros is the Comorian Franc (KMF). Comoros has a culture that reflects its history as a former French colony, which still influences its customs today. It also has strong ties with nearby African countries such as Madagascar, Seychelles and Kenya due to its location in the Indian Ocean. There are a range of festivals and celebrations that take place throughout the year such as Eid al-Fitr which marks the end of Ramadan, and Tabaski which celebrates Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael for God. The economy of Comoros relies heavily on agriculture with exports including vanilla, cloves, ylang-ylang (a type of flower), copra (dried coconut meat) and fish. Tourism has also become an important sector for Comoros with visitors coming to experience its stunning beaches and unique wildlife including lemurs in Montagne d’Ambre National Park or dugongs in Mohéli Marine National Park. Comoros offers visitors a range of activities from exploring vibrant markets or visiting ancient mosques to discovering stunning landscapes such as Anjouan Island or Moheli Island which are both renowned for their lush green hillsides and white sand beaches. There are also numerous water sports available such as snorkeling, diving and kayaking in some of the world’s most beautiful coral reefs. In addition, it offers some of Africa’s best hiking trails at Mount Karthala on Grand Comore Island or Mount Ntringui on Anjouan Island – both offering spectacular views over surrounding islands and turquoise waters below. Comoros is located in the Comoros Time Zone (UTC+3). During Daylight Saving Time (DST), clocks are moved forward one hour to UTC+4. DST begins on the second Sunday of October and ends on the third Sunday of April each year. In addition to observing Daylight Saving Time along with other parts of East Africa, Comoros also observes certain holidays with special times or exceptions to its standard time zone. For example, on New Year’s Day all clocks are moved back by one hour for an additional hour of daylight savings time. On Independence Day (the day celebrating the independence of Comoros) all clocks are moved forward by two hours so that people can attend celebrations earlier at night; this is known as “Comorian Miracle” or “Little Comoros” in some parts of the country. The Comoros also shares its time zone with other countries such as Madagascar and Seychelles. This means that people living in these countries will experience the same time as those living in Comoros during DST, but may observe different holidays with different times or exceptions to their standard time zone. Overall, Comoros follows the Comorian Time Zone and observes Daylight Saving Time along with other parts of East Africa. It also has certain holidays where clocks are moved forward or backward for an additional hour so that people can attend celebrations earlier at night.
