Zanzibar Experience

Zanzibar is also known as the Spice Island and it has lured travelers for centuries.

THE OLD TOWN
The old stone town is a fascinating place to wander around. The main tourist features are:
Bel-el-Ajub (House of wanders). Built in 1883 by the Sultan of Barghash, it is one of the most
prominent buildings in the old stone town. It was formally the Sultans palace and one of the longest structures in Zanzibar. This is a beautiful four-storey building surrounded by wide verandas.

Bet-al-Sahel (The palace Museum)
Built in 1828. It displays the period of the Zanzibar Sultanate. To the north of the palace lies the Makusurani graveyard, which is where most of the Sultans were buried.

The ‘Arab’ Fort
This is a massive cren-vaulted and bastioned structure and was built in 1700. The craft gallery has an excellent selection of first rate fabric worth a look.

Old slave market and UMCA cathedral
The cathedral built in 1877 by the mission to central Africa (UMCA), was the first Anglican cathedral in East Africa.

THE RUINS.
These are historical sites around the island and are worth visiting. Mbweni palace  is an interesting architectural structure. Mvuleni dates from an abortive Portuguese attempt to colonize the island.
Mahurumbi palace built the Sultan is in 1882 and the remaining columns once supported a large upper floor overhead aqueduct, Mangapwani slave caves were used for illegal slave trade after the British had abolished it.
