Mombasa ( mom-BASS-ə, also US: -⁠BAH-sə) is a coastal city in southeast Kenya along the Indian Ocean. The city is known as the white and blue city in Kenya. It is the country's oldest (circa 900 AD) and second-largest city (after the capital Nairobi), with a population of about 1,208,333 people according to the 2019 census. Its metropolitan region is the second-largest in the country, and has a population of 3,528,940 people.Mombasa is a tourism-based city; it has an extra-large port and an international airport, and is an important regional tourism centre. Located on the east coast of Kenya, it also is the home of one of the state houses, and is considered by some as a second capital in all but name.
In an effort to increase tourism, in June 2018 Mombasa County Governor Hassan Joho issued a directive requiring that all buildings in the Old Town and the Central Business District be painted white with Egyptian blue trim and banning all signs from their walls or canopies. "This allows tourists to take photos," explained Transport, Infrastructure and Public Works County Executive Tawfiq Balala. "We want to be the most photographed city in Africa." The order was challenged by the Commission For Human Rights and Justice, but Judge Erick Ogolla upheld the requirement.In Mombasa County and the former Coast Province, Mombasa's situation on the Indian Ocean made it a historical trading centre, and it has been controlled by many countries because of its strategic location.
