Welcome to Stone Town, the unique old section of Zanzibar City.  Stone Town was the primary link to Africa for the spice trade and slave trade in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Stone Town has an interesting food market that operates every night, with a dizzying array of local seafood, baked goods, and sugar cane juices.

While the architecture is interesting, and the food delicious, it’s really the people that make for the most interesting viewing.  You can easily spend an afternoon with a coffee people watching!
