Zanzibar Stone Town
Situated on the western coast of Zanzibar, Stone Town holds magic and mystery. Shafts of bright light joust with deep shadows creating a fascinating world within its narrow streets, built for pedestrian traffic. The streets wind between tall buildings, opening unexpectedly into ornamental squares that endow the town with gathering points for local people as well as atmosphere of Arabian Nights charm: a colourful mix of Arab, Indian and African culture.
Follow the scents of Jasmine and Ylang Ylang, the flavours of ginger and cinnamon, feel the touch of Henna and Coconut oil, listen to the sounds of Taarab music, admire the Zanzibari doors and chests, taste a cup of real Zanzibari coffee…
