Old Mombasa surrounds [[Wikipedia:Mombasa Island|Mombasa Island]], which now houses the metropolis of [[New Mombasa]]. The island is located between two ocean inlets, [[Wikipedia:Tudor Creek|Tudor Creek]] to the north and [[Wikipedia:Kilindini Harbour|Kilindini Harbour]] to the south. Old Mombasa is located across these bodies of water on both sides of the island. Originally, the city extended to a peninsula between the creeks northwest of the island, but due to global warming and the subsequent rise of sea levels, and the possible creation of an artificial waterway deep inland, this landmass is completely submerged by the 26th century. | Old Mombasa surrounds [[Wikipedia:Mombasa Island|Mombasa Island]], which now houses the metropolis of [[New Mombasa]].
