The
legendary island of spices, fragrances, flowers and fruits,
set like a jewel in the tranquil coral waters of the Indian
ocean, Zanzibar is also the birthplace of the fascinating
Swahili culture with its elegant architecture, full of balconies,
courtyards, hand-carved doors and mosques. The different races
that had settled in Zanzibar over centuries have left an
impact on the people and the architecture. The narrow streets,
the House of Wonders, are just some vivid reminders
of the Islands long and coloured history. Different
excursions are arranged while in Zanzibar taking visitors
to spices plantations, the old slave cave, the prison island,
ruins of what was the palace of the Sultan Said, the old slave
market and many other historical places.
