Open day to visit the city (optional).
Stone Town, also known as Stone City or White City, is the charming old town of the capital of Zanzibar. Located along the southwest coast of the island, it was founded in 1830 as a small fishing village and became the capital of the sultanate of Oman 10 years later and a British colony afterwards. The succession of dominations is visible in the colonial palaces and the many Arab, Persian and Indian elements which enrich the city’s architecture.
For an in-depth visit of Stone Town one day is enough. Tourists usually arrive from the hotels on the coast, taking part in an arranged afternoon trip, and leave the city at sunset, in time to dine at their hotels. However, it is interesting to spend a night on site to better enjoy the city’s charm and to visit the area with more peace of mind.
Stone Town is to be discovered by walking through the maze of narrow streets and alleys, inaccessible to cars, where refined buildings, mosques and even Hindu temples are hidden.
Here is a list of things not to be missed: the House of Wonders, the old buildings and their gates, the Darajani Market, the Arab Fort, the Forodhani Gardens, an aperitif at the Africa House.
Overnight stay.
