Gaza Province

Gaza is one of the most remote and inaccessible (and dry) parts of Mozambique, with relatively little to offer tourists beyond its short coastline. The capital, Xai-Xai (pronounced "shy-shy") is the greatest attraction, but only because of its lovely beaches - the town itself is nothing to write home about.

Portuguese is the most prevalent official language in Gaza, an inheritance from the country's colonial past, but most of the region's population cannot read nor speak it. Of the 60 other languages and dialects spoken in Mozambique, Shonga is most prevalent in the southern regions.

The only more southern province is the Maputo province, at the tip of Mozambique.
