Pemba is an average-sized town with all commodities (market, supermarkets with both local and international products, bars, restaurants, gyms, etc.) and access to the beautiful beaches. It is possible to explore Pemba Bay by boat, do snorkelling, dive, etc.

Pemba is the largest and capital city of Cabo Delgado Province. While classified as a non-family duty station, Pemba offers a permissible work-life balance, with accessible tropical beaches and no enforced no-go areas, apart from the usually forbidden military bases in the city. The city of Pemba is overall calm. Expatriates leave in small houses on a shared compound. All houses have a living room with a kitchen and two bedrooms with their respective bathroom.
