About Stone Town

Stone Town is the historic heart of Zanzibar City and one of East Africa's most evocative urban landscapes. Its warren of narrow alleyways is lined with centuries-old coral-stone buildings adorned with ornate carved wooden doors — a living monument to the island's role as the centre of the Indian Ocean spice and slave trades. Walking its streets reveals mosques, Hindu temples, merchant palaces and colonial buildings within a few hundred metres of each other.
