Little changed in the last 200
years. It is a place of winding
alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques
and grand Arab houses whose original
owners vied with each other over the
extravagance of their dwellings.
This 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.

Paradise Beaches - Zanzibar
Zanzibar's brilliant
white beaches lapped by
the warm turquoise
waters of the Indian
Ocean provide the
perfect place to relax
soak up the sun and
take a break from
some busy
sightseeing. The
beaches in Zanzibar
are a paradise,
interspersed with
picturesque fishing
villages, where the
people live a simple
way of life,
unchanged over the
years.
There are more than 25 fantastic
beaches in Zanzibar, and some are so
peaceful and remote that the only
noise breaking the silence is likely
to be the ocean. |
