Zanzibar, the legendary Spice Island, offers an intoxicating blend of history, culture, and breathtaking natural beauty.


Zanzibar Island is a paradise of white sand beaches, coral reefs, diving sites, and mangrove forests teeming with monkeys. It is a melting pot of cultures, showcasing influences from Arabia, Persia, India and Europe.

For hundreds of years, traders and travellers have eulogised about Zanzibar’s intoxicating aroma of spices, its beautiful beaches and the bustle of its Moorish capital, Stone Town. It’s name alone – as evocative as Timbuktu, Casablanca or Kilimanjaro – is alluring enough for many to dream of visiting.

The capital’s heart, ’Stone Town’, is an UNESCO Heritage Site: a labyrinth of narrow winding alleys dotted with bustling markets, eclectic souvenir shops and fine merchant houses hidden behind intricately carved doors. It’s an exotic urban backdrop and a fascinating insight into the islands’ Omani heritage.
