Majuro Atoll is the capital atoll and most populous area of the Marshall Islands, located in the Ratak Chain of the central Pacific Ocean.

The atoll consists of more than 60 small islands surrounding a large lagoon and serves as the country’s political, economic, and transportation center. The main urban area, Delap-Uliga-Djarrit, is home to government offices, businesses, schools, hotels, and the nation’s primary port and international airport.

Majuro has been an important settlement for centuries and became the national capital when the Republic of the Marshall Islands gained self-government. Known for its turquoise lagoon, palm-fringed shores, and traditional Marshallese culture, Majuro Atoll combines modern services with island life. It is the main gateway to the country and offers visitors a mix of cultural attractions, scenic coastal views, and access to the natural beauty of the Marshall Islands.
