What to Expect
- UNESCO World Heritage old town
- Carved doors and historic landmarks
- Former slave market site
- Forodhani waterfront
A guided walk through Stone Town threads the narrow lanes past coral-stone buildings, carved doors, mosques and former merchant houses. Stops typically include the Old Fort, the former slave market site and the bustling markets, ending at the Forodhani waterfront.
It is the best introduction to Zanzibar’s layered Swahili, Arab, Indian and European history.
