About this experience
This atmospheric and mystical town is the cultural and historical heart of Zanzibar.
This is a half a day trip where you can visit a historical street constructed from coral stone during the 19th and 20th centuries. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 2000.
Stone Town is a very lively place where you’ll find a combination of Arabic, African, Indian and European cultures living happily together.
As you walk through the labyrinth of streets too narrow for cars to pass, you can see mosques, churches and temples side to side.
