Holidays in Zanzibar
Filed Under News
Although commonly referred to as a single island, Zanzibar is an archipelago right in front of Tanzania coast with two main islands, Unguja and Pemba among other smaller islands. The island of Zanzibar is often identified with Unguja which is the main one in the archipelago. This location is the perfect getaway for a dream holiday in one of the most fascinating islands of the Indian Ocean.
The main city of the island is Stone Town, which has recently become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town is truly special where its visible influences perfectly embody the history of Zanzibar as a commercial crossroad during the spice trade period. The architecture, indeed, suggests the co-presence of Middle Eastern, African and Indian traditions. Another piece of history worth visiting is the Slave Market, where African rulers sold slaves to Arab traders to eventually work for white European people.
However, the most renowned parts of Zanzibar are certainly its magnificent beaches and crystal water of the sea. Famous spots in the island where to enjoy the sea and the beach are in particular Nugwi resort, in the north area of the island, and Kendwa, a small fishermen village which attracts many scuba divers and deep sea fishing experts.

“…one of the most fascinating islands of the Indian Ocean.”
I definitely agree.
This Summer I had the pleasure of visiting it and I would recommend it to anyone who wants something a little different.
I look forward to your next post.
