Tourism Guide to Mombasa, Kenya Mombasa is the second-largest city in Kenya. Lying next to the Indian Ocean, it has a major port and an international airport.

The city also serves as the centre of the coastal tourism industry. The original Arabic name is منبعثة Manbasa; in Swahili it is called Kisiwa Cha Mvita (or Mvita for short), which means "Island of War", due to the many changes in its ownership. The town is also the headquarters of Mombasa District, which, like most other districts in Kenya, is named after its chief town.
