Mombasa city at night, Mombasa county Africa-Kenya

Business in Mombasa at night is currently a tale of two cities: while the Central Business District (CBD) has seen a decline in traditional nightlife, areas like Bamburi and Mtwapa have emerged as the new 24-hour economic hubs. High license fees and security concerns have pushed many establishments out of the city center, but the "never-sleep" culture has successfully migrated to the northern suburbs.
