Når du besøger Stone Town, kan du ikke gå glip af det gamle fort. Dets historie fortæller historien om Zanzibar i en nøddeskal. Old Fort er en af de ældste bygninger i Stone Town, først brugt af portugiserne og derefter omdannet til et arabisk fort og derefter brugt som Zanzibar-togstation og nu som det kulturelle centrum af Stone Town er det vært for festivaler som Sauti za Busara og Zanzibar International Film Festivaler Oprindeligt bygget af portugiserne i det 17. århundrede og senere genopbygget af omanierne i det 18. århundrede. Det er gratis at besøge, og der arrangeres ofte kulturelle festivaler og happenings i fortets indre hof.
Den anglikanske katedral i Christ Church blev bygget i Stone Town (den gamle del af Zanzibar by) på det sted, hvor det største slavemarked i Østafrika fungerede Uden for katedralen er der et stenmonument, der viser fire personer lænket om nakken som en måde at gengive den måde, hvorpå slaver blev tilbudt købere. Handel med slaver var hovedaktiviteten, og den forbandt kommercielt europæere (der brugte slaver til plantager i Det Indiske Ocean) med afrikanske herskere. I det 19. århundrede skilte Zanzibar-sultanatet sig ud for at være det vigtigste slavemarked i Østafrika på grund af dets strategiske placering i Det Indiske Ocean. Det anslås, at mellem 1830 og 1873 blev omkring 600.000 mennesker solgt som varer, og tusindvis af andre mennesker besøgte stedet midlertidigt.
Er en vigtig historisk bygning beliggende i Baghani-området i Stone Town, Zanzibar. Det blev bygget af franske missionærer mellem 1893 og 1898, og planerne blev tegnet af den samme franske arkitekt, der tegnede katedralen i Marseille, Frankrig. Det afgørende kendetegn ved katedralen er dens tvillingespirer (svarende til dem i Marseilles kirke), som er fremtrædende elementer i stenbyens skyline og let kan ses på afstand fra kysten. Katedralens indre er malet med vægmalerier fra Det Gamle Testamente. Fliserne og glasmosaikerne blev alle importeret fra Frankrig. Katedralen er i regelmæssig brug af Stone Towns katolske samfund. Der afholdes flere messer hver søndag og lejlighedsvis på hverdage.

Excellent tour around Stone Town with a lot of details of the history of the place. Our guide was knowledgeable and with a warm personality.
Insightful 3-hours with Osman (guide) to learn more about the history of stone town. Started with a former slave market (great exhibition there! Must do!) then went to the main market and passed by the fish section (interesting experience), passed by Freddy M museum, bought some spices on the way and finished up with a bite at the night market. Private tours are always best! Really enjoyed all the experience! Highly recommend! For those who prefer to spend morning / day at the beach and have a nice walk later in the afternoon (tour started at 4:30 PM and we finished around 8PM!)! Ideal!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your Stone Town tour with Osman. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Zanzibar soon!
We did the stone town and prison island tour. We had our guide Mohammed who was amazing and out driver Khalid. We were able to tailor our tour to see what we wanted in Stone town and had time to do shopping. The whole day was at our pace and to our needs. Took us to an amazing lunch spot. Really knowledgeable. Super tour and service from Coastline again. My 3rd tour with them. Would highly recommend.
Exciting visit with a guide who is as kind as he is passionate and has an inexhaustible culture. Don’t hesitate to ask for Saïd. He speaks French perfectly and will share his love of Stonetown with you. Saïd answers all your questions can find you a typical and delicious restaurant explains the details of each monument do not hesitate
Hakuna matata with Coastline tours🥰 Traveled to Zanzi dzee bar with my sisters September 2023. Booked airport transfers with Coastlines and they responded timely, thanking us for booking with them. They then sent a brochure of activities to do in Zanzibar. We already had a tailored itinerary we had drafted and shared it with them and they accommodated all our requests and scheduled an incredible week on tours and excursions just for us. I can’t thank Mohammed, Abdul, Khalid, Othman and Said enough for their awesome hospitality. If you are looking for a personal touch to your tour guide experience in Zanzibar, book with Coastlines. Hakuna shida!!!
Indeed HAKUNA SHIDA it is!! Thank you sisters for your trust, thanl you for your recomendation, thank you for choosing coastline out of hundreds. On behalf our entire team we wish to you a very wonderful time abead of you. Such a wonderful family🤼♀️. Abdul Coastline tours
Superb day with Saïd! He is very kind, explains the history of the city very well and likes to share his culture! Very accommodating, he didn't hesitate to give us time during the visit to the place we wanted to explore in more depth! I highly recommend Saïd as a French-speaking guide, thank you for this beautiful day!
This was such an amazing tour! Ousmane was so knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of historical background and fun facts throughout the tour. It is totally worth your time especially if this is your first time visiting Zanzibar. We highly recommend it!
Osman is a great guy, very knowledgeable and the 3 hours flew by! There's a lot to see and information to take in but I definitely learnt a lot today! I would definitely recommend this tour, it was a lovely morning and helped my understanding of the island a lot.
I went on a walking tour of Stone Town on my first day in Zanzibar. Said was very knowledgable about the city and excited to share everything he knew with me. He customized the trip based on my interest and dropped me off at the restaurant where my friends were waiting at the end. Stone Town is confusing and twisty-turny but Said knows that city so well. Said was also the guide for my friend and I at Jozani National Forest. I think he knows every plant in the forest. All of the various guides at the forest help each other out so we found the monkeys in no time. Said even spotted an elephant shrew. He is a joy to be around and a great guide.
An excellent guide, top quality Service, Said knows very well the history of Tanzania very invested in his work! We had to do three hours we finally spent all afternoon and much of the evening with him. It is pleasant to listen! I recommend it for your activities! He is attentive and attentive but above all very good advice
