STONE TOWN WALKING TOUR.

Overview:

This is a 4 Hrs. Trip. Stone Town also known as Mji Mkongwe in Swahili is the old part of Zanzibar City, the main city of Zanzibar, in Tanzania. Explore Stone Town, the atmospheric cultural and historical heart of Zanzibar City, on this 4-hour walking tour with a guide. Constructed from coral stone in the 19th and 20th centuries, Stone Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000. You’ll get to know the town as you see heritage sites and architecture, visit a local marketplace, check out the church and memorial at the old slave market, admire the former home of the sultan, and do some shopping with the help of our guide. Meet our guide either at your hotel or a central location to begin your walking tour of Stone Town, a lively place where you’ll find a mixture of Arabic, African, Indian, and European cultures. As you walk through the labyrinth of streets too narrow for vehicles, see mosques, churches, and temples side by side. While you walk, our guide takes you on a historical and cultural journey past sights such as Darajani Market, the House of Wonders (Beit-el-Ajaib), and the Old Fort (Ngome Kong we). The included visits on your tour are to the Anglican Cathedral built on the site of the Old Slave Market and the Sultan’s Palace (Beit al-Sahel), also known as the People’s Palace and today a museum. During the tour, listen to our professional guide’s commentary on Stone Town, its history, and Swahili culture.
