A UNESCO-listed maze of carved doors, rooftops and history.
Zanzibar's Stone Town is one of the finest surviving Swahili trading towns on the East African coast. Its narrow lanes, markets and waterfront are best explored on foot with a local guide.
See the Old Fort, the former slave market and Anglican cathedral, the Darajani market and the House of Wonders seafront. In the evening, Forodhani Gardens fills with food stalls grilling seafood.
Stone Town was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000.
