Stone Town, the historic and cultural core of Zanzibar, has remained largely unchanged for the past 200 years. It is a place of narrow alleys, lively markets, mosques, and impressive Arab architecture. Over the course of more than a thousand years, Stone Town has blended various cultural influences from Africa, the Arab world, India, and Europe. You could easily spend hours exploring its intriguing maze of streets and alleys, immersing yourself in its rich history. We highly recommend taking a guided tour of Stone Town, which can be arranged through your hotel.
