Description

Stone Town, the heart of Zanzibar. Get ready for a fascinating journey through Stone Town, Zanzibar, where you'll discover the city's geography, history, architecture, and culture. As you stroll through its narrow streets, you'll find over 2,000 limestone buildings. These streets cover an area equivalent to 14 football fields, and about 18,000 people live in its neighborhoods. Stone Town is a true crossroads of cultures, blending African, Arab, Indian, Persian, and European influences. Thanks to its unique character, it's been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. A melting pot of cultures: Zanzibar and Stone Town are like a wonderful mix of cultures. During your adventure, you'll visit places like the Anglican Cathedral (formerly a slave market), the House of Wonders (now a national museum under renovation), the Palace Museum, the Old Fort, Darajani Market, the Catholic Cathedral, Jaw Corner, Freddie Mercury's house, as well as the bustling streets, the lively market where you can have a coffee, and the magnificent gates of Zanzibar. You'll see why Stone Town deserves to be considered a World Heritage Site. Don't forget to explore the bazaar shopping area, where locals do their daily shopping, as well as a colorful market street.
