Mahabe: Port City in Northwestern Madagascar
Located on the northwest coast of Madagascar, Mahabe (Mahajanga) is the country's second-largest seaport and the capital of the Mahaba region. Bordered by the Mozambique Channel, the city enjoys a warm and dry tropical climate, with an average annual temperature of around 27°C. It is a famous tourist resort.
Economic and Transportation Hub
As an important trading port, Mahabe connects Madagascar with the Comoros, Réunion and other Indian Ocean islands. The economy is based on agro-processing (especially cotton and sugar), fishing and tourism. The city is crossed by the Betsibouka River, which creates a unique landscape of red clay riverbanks.
A place of multiculturalism
Mahabe is a blend of African, Arab and Indian cultures, with mosques, colonial buildings and colorful markets. The Famadihana, a traditional ritual of cleansing the bones, is held every July and attracts many visitors to experience Madagascar's unique folklore.
Natural features
Surrounded by the Ankaravanzka Nature Reserve, where the world's smallest primate, the mouse lemur, can be seen. The city's beaches are famous for their soft white sand and rows of baobab trees, and the nearby waters are ideal for watching the humpback whale migration (July-September).
