MBBS IN USA VIA CARIBBEAN

Antigua and Barbuda — two islands, one paradise. A favorite tourist destination accessible via direct flights from the UK, USA, and Canada. Antigua's shoreline is washed almost exclusively by the Caribbean Sea, hugged by 95 miles of superb coastline.

Antigua, the largest of the English-speaking Leeward Islands, is about 14 miles long and 11 miles wide, encompassing 108 square miles. Its highest point is Mount Obama (1319 ft., 402 meters). The current population is approximately 68,000 and its capital is St. John's on Antigua.

Temperatures generally range from the mid-seventies in winter to the mid-eighties in summer. Annual rainfall averages only 45 inches — the sunniest of the Eastern Caribbean Islands. Low humidity year-round.
