Overview of the tour in Zanzibar

A tour of Stone Town, Zanzibar’s historic center, offers an engaging exploration of its rich cultural heritage. Begin at the Old Fort, a 17th-century Omani structure that now serves as a vibrant cultural venue. Then, visit the House of Wonders, once the tallest building in East Africa and a showcase of Zanzibar’s royal history, with its early use of electricity and an elevator.

Next, explore the former Slave Market, now the Anglican Cathedral. This stop provides a poignant insight into Zanzibar’s role in the East African slave trade, with moving memorials and remnants of the market.

The tour also takes you through the bustling Darajani Market, where the lively atmosphere and aromatic spices highlight Zanzibar’s spice trade heritage. The market is a colorful and sensory-rich experience.

As you wander Stone Town’s narrow streets, admire the intricately carved wooden doors, reflecting the town’s diverse architectural influences from Arab, Persian, Indian, and European cultures. This tour offers a comprehensive look at Stone Town’s unique history and vibrant cultural landscape.
