Stone Town Private Tour

We will pick you up from your hotel in Zanzibar at the selected time. From there, we'll walk to the center of the capital to see important monuments.

The first stop will be at the Old Fort, built by the Omanis in 1689 as defense against the Portuguese. Next to this fortress is the House of Wonders, known for its wooden doors inscribed with Quranic verses. It was the first building on the island to have electricity.

Then, we'll head to the old Sultan's Palace, now a museum of the royal family of Zanzibar. We'll also visit the Hamamni Persian Baths, a remnant of the empire in Stone Town.

We'll continue exploring the Darajani market, essential to understanding the city’s history. The tour will conclude at the house where Freddy Mercury was born.
