Historical stone town tour

Description


Discover the secrets of Zanzibar stone town

Stone Town is the historical centre of Zanzibar City, the capital of the Zanzibar archipelago.

As a primary trading post on the spice, silk and slave trade routes for over a millennium, Stone Town has been a unique meeting place, blending African, Indian, Arabian and European cultures. It is one of the few remaining ancient towns in Africa.

It’s beauty, and historical value has earned it a well-deserved place on the UNESCO world heritage list.

Not only is this city visually beautiful, with old colonial buildings and exquisitely carved Zanzibari doorways, but your senses will be overwhelmed with the scent of the sea and spice and the calls to prayer echoing from the minarets.

For history buffs and culture addicts, Stone Town offers plenty of activities to explore
