Mozambique Island

Mozambique Island was once the singularly most important town in Mozambique used as a commercial settlement by merchants, particularly Arab merchants, to trade along the entire Mozambican coastline. The island is easily accessible by vehicle via a concrete bridge over 2km long built in the 1960's.
