Stone Town Zanzibar Island

Stone Town is the old city and cultural heart of Zanzibar, little changed in the last 200 years. Stone Town is a place of winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques and grand Arab houses. Historic Stone Town one-upmanship is particularly reflected in the brass-studded, carved, wooden doors - there are more than 500 different examples of this handiwork. You can spend many idle hours and days just wandering through the fascinating labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways. Zanzibar Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
