Historical Stone Town Tour
Visão Geral do Tour
This is a wonderful introduction to Zanzibar and gives you a feeling of the rich cultural heritage. One gets a comprehensive view, history and walk of the Stone Town, magnificent architecture, narrow alleys, sand and stone ancient built houses, where some of them are over 200 years old and have Arab/Indian carved doors.
The tour starts at the main City market, which was opened in 1904, where tropical fruits, vegetables, spices, and fresh fish from the island are sold.
Our next stop is the Anglican Church of Christ, which was built by Bishop Steers in 1873 on the site where slaves used to be auctioned.
Other highlights on the historical stone town tour are visits to:
• Sultan’s Palace Museum - Built in the late 1890s for members of the Sultan’s family.
• House of Wonders - Built in 1883 as a Royal Ceremonial Function Palace.
• The Africa House - Formerly the English Club.
• Forodhani Park - Where you can spend your evenings leisurely watching the brilliant sunset while sipping freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, or enjoy charcoal barbeques and locally made dishes.
