Near the Mosquee du Vendredi is the Sultan's Palace, and within walking distance from the city centre of Mutsamudu is the Dziancoundre Waterfall, an area of outstanding natural beauty. For those who enjoy hiking, Anjouan offers some fantastic cross-country rambling in truly amazing tropical backdrops. Visitors to the island may also wish to discover the coral reefs and white sandy beaches at Chiroroni and the ylang-ylang distillery at Bamboa, or take a walk around the old town, Hari ya Moudji, in Domoni. Hari ya Moudji is full of crumbling palaces built by sultans in the 16th to 18th centuries.
