[[File:Vohemar 001.jpg|600px]]
Vohemar's population is of ancient islamic origin and was perhaps the first part of Madagascar to be settled by Arabs. Various Muslim graves dating from the 17th and 18th century can be found in this area. The town was once destroyed by the Portuguese.
One way to reach Vohemar by road is coming from [[Sambava]]. The distance is 155km. The road from [[Diego Suarez]] is in poor condition during the rainy season at which time Vohemar may only be accessible by air or sea.
