STONE TOWN HERITAGE WALK 📍Half Day ▶️ $25

Walk with us along the narrowest streets in the world during this half day tour. Within three well-invested hours you will gain a good understanding of the fascinating history of Zanzibar’s capital city and its significant areas, buildings and historical sites. You will soon notice how Zanzibar’s cosmopolitan roots (Arabs, Indians, Yemenis, Persians, Portuguese, British, Chinese and others) blend with African traditions to shape its unique culture. There are distinctive features of Arab and Indian urban architecture to discover at every turn, such as the famous Zanzibar doors, elaborately carved with ornaments and verses from the Q’ran (Arab) orplants and animals (Indian), decorated with brass studs, quaint balconies and verandas, small hidden gardens, saint’s graves, and much more. 

Start (best)  at 8.30 am and the latest at 2.30 pm  (tour duration approx. 3 to 4 hours).  Including  specific sites in Stone Town, such as

• the Old Anglican Church,

• Darajani Market,

• Old Arab Fort,

• Beit al Ajaib - House of Wonders,

• St.Joseph's Cathedral,

• entrance fees at Former Slave Market, Hamamni Persian Baths, Shiva Shakti Temple – if open, private guide & 12% VAT - local tourism taxes. 

This tour can be adapted spontaneously to suit your interests

 

BE WELL PREPARED

We suggest picking up our guests as early as the hotel's breakfast timing allows because we love walking through Stone Town in the cooler morning when local people just awake and start their daily routine, while there are fewer tourists around. 

Wearing shoulder and knee-covering clothes in Stone Town will be much appreciated, but on the beaches, people also accept shorter clothes.

Please note that the Beit al Ajaib Museum (House of Wonders) is presently not accessible. It has been in danger of imminent collapse for quite some time, until finally, the Omani government decided to repair the most important monument of East Africa, so now it is closed for urgent renovation
