Did You Know?
Nampula sits among inselbergs — isolated granite domes rising straight out of the plain, some over 600 metres. The province is Mozambique's most populous and holds Ilha de Moçambique, the country's capital until 1898 and now a UNESCO site.
The clock: Nampula keeps UTC+2. Mozambique's coast runs about 2,500 km, and this stretch was a Swahili trading coast long before the Portuguese arrived.
