Mahajanga (French: Majunga) is a city, a district, and a province on the north-west coast of Madagascar : It is called commonly as "town of flowers"
The City of Mahajanga (Mahajanga I) is the capital of the Boeny region and of the Mahajanga Province. Population: 135,660 (2001 estimate[1]).
Mahajanga is a seaport, the most important one in Madagascar after Toamasina.
There is an international airport with regional flights to the Comoros and Mayotte.
The city is located on the Betsiboka River, which then leads to Bombetoka Bay.
Mahajanga is a favorite tourist destination for both Malagasy tourists and international travelers, with beautiful beaches, a coconut-lined bordwalk (La Boru), and eight months of hot yet virtually rain-free weather.
The city has a sizeable muslim population. In 1977, it was the scene of ethnic unrest, forcing the evacuation of the Comorian minority living there.
In December 2006, a typhoon hit Mahajanga, causing significant damage to the port facilities and to some buildings located on or near the coast.
