These streets cover an area equivalent to 14 football fields, and around 18,000 people live in its neighborhoods. Stone Town is a true melting pot of cultures, blending African, Arab, Indian, Persian and European influences. Thanks to its unique character, it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. A melting pot of cultures: Zanzibar and Stone Town are like a wonderful melting pot of cultures.
