MAKAME
Stone Town, the historic district of Zanzibar's capital, is a veritable concentration of history. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000, this city's unique and magnificent architecture reflects a blend of British, Indian, Portuguese, Omani and Swahili influences. Visitors can lose themselves in the narrow streets full of surprises, stroll through the Darajani market, the very soul of Stone Town, and discover the city's most beautiful monuments. The Darajani market is a veritable bazaar, selling everything from clothes to spices and light bulbs. The spice sellers are a reminder that Zanzibar is nicknamed "the spice island". Fruit and vegetable stalls stay open late into the evening, proof of the market's dynamism. Stone Town is also the ideal starting point for discovering Zanzibar's natural surroundings. With its rich history and multiple influences, Zanzibar is a fascinating destination not to be missed.
