Zanzibar, a Tanzanian archipelago off the coast of East Africa, is renowned for its stunning beaches and vibrant history.

This historic part of Zanzibar City features a maze of narrow streets lined with coral stone buildings, mosques, and bustling markets, showcasing African, Arabic, and Indian influences.

Wander through these labyrinthine streets to discover hidden gems, including small shops, cafes, and traditional Swahili houses. Visit the House of Wonders, once the sultan’s palace and now a museum highlighting Zanzibar’s history and culture. The Old Slave Market provides a poignant glimpse into Zanzibar’s past, while the Forodhani Gardens market is perfect for finding spices, textiles, and local crafts.

Stone Town’s coastal location makes it easy to relax on the beach after sightseeing. Take a cooking class to learn how to prepare traditional Zanzibari dishes or visit a spice plantation to understand why Zanzibar is famed for its spices. Stone Town offers a captivating blend of culture and history, making it an essential part of any Zanzibar holiday.
