Safety

Comoros Island is known for its unparalleled beauty and friendly Comoros culture. However, one can add safety to it too. It is one of the safest places to travel to. In fact, for those who are wary of mishaps and con artists, this is a place to unwind and let your hair down. There has been hardly any news regarding burglaries and robberies. Even hitchhiking in the most remote part of the island is considered to be safe. However, this does not mean that crime will not happen, so you should take sensible precautions against pick-pocketing and mugging. Avoid walking alone at night on beaches or in town centres. Safeguard valuables and cash. Use hotel safes, where possible.

Besides, Comoros is a Muslim country, so If you are a woman, remember to always cover your knees, shoulders, and chest in public. It should also be noted that since this is a Muslim-majority country, alcohol is not widely available here, and there are only a small number of places that are licensed to sell alcohol. If you drink, this is important to keep in mind.
