Stone Town

Stone Town, Zanzibar's old city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000, is famous for its unique architecture blending Swahili, Arab, Persian, Indian and European influences. A labyrinth of narrow streets lined with coral stone houses, large carved wooden doors, the 17th-century Omani Old Fort, the House of Wonders (Beit el-Ajaib), the slave market, and Freddie Mercury's birthplace... A vibrant and authentic city, with lively markets, traditional cafés and spectacular sunsets over the Indian Ocean.
