Moidzaza is a photogenic coastal village located in the northern part of Grande Comore island, belonging to the Mitsamiouli-Mboudé prefecture. The settlement is situated in a region known for its impressive beaches and the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean, making it a key point for local tourism and fishing.
