The second name of this island is “spice island” and legend has it that sailors reached it by following the scent. It will therefore be a journey to get to know fruit plants, aromatic and medicinal plants up close, but above all, spices.

Stone Town, where art and culture, past and present meet

Stone Town in Zanzibar, the city of stone, is the guardian of the island’s past. This ancient urban center represents the historical heart of Zanzibar and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its rich collection of stone buildings.

The intricate alleyways and narrow lanes, the finely decorated doorways, the bazaars infused with the scents of spices, the mosques adjacent to Christian churches – all this epitomizes Stone Town in Zanzibar, also known as Mji Mkongwe (“old town” in Swahili). Despite being situated in Tanzania, the evidence of cultures that have left their mark on this island is so abundant that we could easily feel transported to an oriental city or a European ethnic neighborhood.

This is the old town of the capital of Zanzibar, known as the “city of stone” for the buildings constructed in the 19th century reflecting influences from various architectural styles from around the world. This uniqueness led to Stone Town being designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.
