Zanzibar
Zanzibar And Its Sister Island, Pemba, Grow 75 Percent Of The World’s Cloves. A Beautiful Island Unspoiled By Tourism, Zanzibar Is Only 22 Miles (35 Km) From The Mainland — A Twenty-Minute Flight From Dar Es Salaam Or A Five-To-Seven-Hour Ride By Motorboat. A More Traditional, Yet Difflcult-To-Arrange Way To Reach The Island Is Sailing By Dhow From Dar Es Salaam, Usually With A Return To Bagamoyo.
The Narrow Streets And Arabic Architecture Of Historical Zanzibar City Are Exceptionally Mystical And Beautiful On A Moonlit Night. Main Attractions Include The Zanzibar Museum, The Former British Consulate, Arab Fort, Anglican Cathedral Built On The Site Of The Old Slave Market, Sultan’s Palace, Clove Market And Indian Bazaar. Livingstone’s And Burton’s Houses Are Near The Picturesque Dhow Harbour. Visitors Can Take A Short Boat Ride To Slave Island To See The Slave Trading Ruins.
Be Aware That Visitors To Zanzibar May Be Required To Pay For Services In Foreign Currency, Regardless Of How Much They May Have Previously Changed On The Mainland.
