Tourist Guide Mahebourg
Mahébourg is a small port city located on the south-east coast of Mauritius. It lies in the bay of Grand Port and is also the capital of the Grand Port District.
The south-east coast is exposed to the south-east trade winds all year round. This renders the winter season to be very windy. The temperature in the area is approximately 22°C in winters, while it is 34°C in summers.
Being a small city, Mahébourg has about 15,800 inhabitants. As Mahébourg is a coastal city, fishing is one of the mainstays of the economy.
Mahébourg has a fascinating history behind it. The first colonisers entered the island of Mauritius through Mahébourg. Hence, the colonial influence on the city and its architecture is evident. The city of Mahébourg gets its name from the most successful French Colonial Governor, Mahe de Labourdonnais.
