Description

The Old Stone Town The Old Stone Town area deserves not one, but several detours! With its Arab past, the city built in coral stones does not lack charm. Thus, this unique place in the world is recognized as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. And we understand why! With its imposing carved doors, its colored walls and an original architecture, the old Stone Town is a labyrinth where it is pleasant to get lost to immerse oneself totally in the local culture. This real maze of small streets allows you not to pass any car. Only cyclists and pedestrians have the right of way! If you wish to discover the history of the city and its main monuments, you can book your visit here thanks to an offer of our partner including also the visit of Changuu (Prison) Island. 5. The slave market and the Anglican church of Zanzibar A place of memory full of history. We discover the frightening conditions reserved for the slaves before their sales. They waited for their fate to be decided, cloistered in a few meters without air or light. Piled up together in such a small space and in deplorable conditions, they had to wait for the tide so that the excrement on the floor could be washed. It was not uncommon for many of these human beings to die of suffocation or exhaustion. Outside the slave market, a memorial was created by the artist Clara Sörnäs. The statues are surrounded by the real irons that chained the slaves. The church, meanwhile, has the distinction of being architecturally influenced by Gothic and Arab art. To learn more about this period of history, book your guided tour easily right here thanks to our partner's offers. 10. The spice market of Zanzibar The markets of Zanzibar are among the must-see places. Zanzibar is indeed an important exporter of spices and it is also the first exporter of cloves in the world. Zanzibar is known for its turmeric, Indian curry, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. Take advantage of this opportunity to go for a walk among the colorful stalls to discover the immense diversity of spices that abound on the island and don't forget to bring back a few bags of spices
