Stone Town occupies the old core of Zanzibar City and is recognised by UNESCO for its distinctive Swahili urban fabric. Narrow lanes connect courtyard houses, mosques, markets and the waterfront.
Experiencing Stone Town Zanzibar Island
Explore with a knowledgeable guide to understand the city’s trading history, architecture and difficult connections with the slave trade. Food markets, rooftop dining and dhow-filled sunsets add contemporary life.
Planning your stay
One or two nights before or after a beach stay gives Zanzibar far greater depth than travelling directly between airport and resort.
