A Tour of Stone Town, Zanzibar
Stonetown is not to be missed when in Tanzania! Visit this beautiful city before or after you hit the beach!
Stone Town isn’t your typical African town; it is a celebrated area where you can wander for hours through a maze of narrow streets and architectural angle, easily losing yourself in centuries of history. It is a sensory experience not to be found anywhere else in the world as each twist and turn brings something new — a Persian bathhouse, a former palace, exquisite gardens, or even a coral-stone mansion with ornately-carved doors and high-reaching balconies… all of it hugging the Indian Ocean. Once you arrive, you can tell almost immediately that Stone Town has stories to tell!

ZANZIBAR: A TOUR of STONE TOWN, the old part of ZANZIBAR CITY (INDIAN OCEAN) ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit Stone Town which is the old part of Zanzibar City, the main city of Zanzibar, in Tanzania. Stone Town is located on the western coast of Unguja, the main island of the Zanzibar Archipelago. Former capital of the Zanzibar Sultanate, and flourishing centre of the spice trade as well as the slave trade in the 19th century, it retained its importance as the main city of Zanzibar during the period of the British protectorate. When Tanganyika and Zanzibar joined each other to form the United Republic of Tanzania, Zanzibar kept a semi-autonomous status, with Stone Town as its local government seat. Stone Town is a city of prominent historical and artistic importance in East Africa. Its architecture, mostly dating back to the 19th century, reflects the diverse influences underlying the Swahili culture, giving a unique mixture of Arab, Persian, Indian and European elements. For this reason, the town was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.
Due to its heritage, Stone Town is also a major visitor attraction in Tanzania, and a large part of its economy depends on tourism-related activities.
Zanzibar is a Tanzanian archipelago off the coast of East Africa. On its main island, Unguja, familiarly called Zanzibar, is Stone Town, a historic trade center with Swahili and Islamic influences. Its winding lanes present minarets, carved doorways and 19th-century landmarks such as the House of Wonders, a former sultan’s palace. The northern villages Nungwi and Kendwa have wide beaches lined with hotels.

Gallery Tours Zanzibar - Zanzibar Stone Town Tour
Follow the trail of the sultans, slaves and explorers in the winding streets of Stone Town. Your guide will tell you about the events that shaped Zanzibar, leading you through the buildings where it all happened, such as the former Slave Market and Anglican Cathedral, the House of Wonders and the Sultans' Palace Museum, the Old Arab Fort and Dispensary.
While tracing the steps of the past, the walking tour provides you with a window into modern life in Stone
Town. Explore the markets, seafood and fish piled in the fish market, fresh loaves of bread in wicker baskets and the neat stacks of fruit and vegetables as traders sell their wares from their stalls. Children play in the streets in the residential areas, mamas sit out and gossip while the men play board games. An optional stop at The Zanzibar Coffee House provides a rest from the heat and hustle and bustle. A selection of drinks, local sweets & seasonal fruits act as the perfect pick me up, for you to continue your tour.
The City Tour is very flexible and can be adapted suit your interest and time frame, if you're a shopaholic, culture vulture or history buff. If you want to hunt for antiques and souvenir shop, follow David Livingstone's time in Zanzibar and walk the path of the slave trade, your guide can recommend and develop routes and itineraries that will optimise your time and get the most out of your trip.

Sights & Sounds of Stone Town ???????????????? UNCUT LIVE Walking Tour (Zanzibar, Tanzania Travel Vlog 16)
Didn't get a chance to explore Stone Town? Well now ya can! ???????? I kept my iPhone 7 rolling as we walked around the beautiful Stone Town, Zanzibar.
It's known for being one of the main spice islands and a major hub for the spice trade and slave trade in the 1800s. It's unique blend of Swahili, Arab, Persian, Indian and European architecture and influences got it named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000.
It's also a major tourist destination in Tanzania and East Africa. We shop for some souvenirs, grab some food at what we heard might be the best restaurant in Stone Town called Luukman (full foodporn video link coming ), and even check out the local fish market auction in action.
Enjoy!

This old city has a rich history from being a capital city of the Sultanate of Oman to being the centre of the slave trade in the 19th century. Stone Town's rich history is reflected in its architecture, which has African, Persian, Arab, Indian, and European influences.

PARADISE FOUND in Zanzibar, Tanzania!
FREE Airbnb CREDIT:
Zanzibar really is PARADISE and a must-visit island off the east coast of Africa. In this video, I compare the two main resort areas on the island of Zanzibar - Nungwi / Kendwa in the North West and Paje in the South East.
One is best for day trips and sightseeing as well is kitesurfing, while the other is better for swimming and sunsets!
Be sure to check out my other Zanzibar videos including a detailed guide to things to do in Stone Town and a vlog from my day trip to Prison Island (Turtle Island).
