Comoros:

The traditional architectural style of the Comoros (also that of the entire Swahili coast) seen in old buildings and mosques is similar to that of the Southern Arabian Peninsula, especially Oman and parts of Yemen due to historical reasons and those areas of Africa being ruled by Arabs from that part of the Arab world.

Anyway it's a very poor country nearly totally dependent on tourism - which is not very big compared to nearby Mauritius, Seychelles etc. Personally I would like to see bigger Arab investments in Comoros so we can help them.
