We can still see the remains of the mosque and the princely residence. The entire eastern part of the island is sacred: it is forbidden to wash there or eat pork. The coral reefs, seagrass beds and shoals to the north of the islet are particularly rich in fish and therefore ideal for diving. The islet is also home to bird colonies and its lush vegetation has some remarkable species, including two varieties of baobabs and large pachypodiums.

The National Park is a conservation site for land spurred tortoises and a nesting site for the Ankoay fish eagle. Dotted with dry forest, rivers, lakes and adorned with dunes and a superb coral reef where dolphins and dugongs swim, this region is a place conducive to biodiversity.
