Itinerary
Explore the narrow streets and alleyways of Stone Town. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is a maze of winding streets and alleyways, each one lined with colorful houses and shops. Take your time wandering around and getting lost, and be sure to look up at the intricate wooden doors, which are one of the city's most distinctive features. Visit the Old Fort. This imposing fort was built in the 17th century by the Portuguese and later used by the Omani Arabs on the history of Stone Town. Go shopping at Darajani Bazaar. This bustling market is a great place to find souvenirs, spices, and other local products. Learn about the history of slavery at the Old Slave Market. This sobering reminder of the city's dark past is now a museum that tells the story of slavery in Zanzibar. Experience local life at Jaws Corner. This lively square is a great place to meet locals and get a taste of everyday life in Stone Town with rooftop that offer stunning views of the sunset.

Ali gave us a fantastic tour of Stone Town. He is patient, flexible and knowledgeable on the history and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Thank you Ali
This was an interesting walk through the old town named Stone Town. Our guide was a certified and experienced man, Ali Rashid. His communication before the tour was excellent, and he was excited to take us on this tour. I recommend Ali Rashid as tour guide whole heartedly! So this walk through the history of Stone Town is interesting, seeing the history and old buildings. Some are really in no good state, but renovation projects are on going. The Slave trade museum is very interesting but a tragic part of history. I would recommend to rather go early morning for the heat later in the day can become too much. All in all I think the tour was worth the money.
