Pemba is the capital city of Cabo Delgado Province, and it is a well known tourist destination because of its history, culture and natural beauty.
Mocímboa da Praia, in the far north, near the Tanzanian border, is an important border hub, for trade and travel, and is the seat of Mocímboa da Praia District.
