Stone Town - Zanzibar





27th - 29th August 2007

STONE TOWN - ZANZIBAR

The Old Stone Town of Unguja is a fascinating place to wander around and get lost in, though you can’t really get lost for too long because you will end up either on seafront or on Creek Rd. Nevertheless, every twist and turn of the narrow alleyways will present you with something of interest – be it a school full of children chanting verses from the Quran, a beautiful old mansion with over hanging verandas, a shady square studded with huge old trees, a collection of quaint little hole-in-the-wall shops, or a gaggle of women in bui bui (veils) sharing a jake and some local gossip.

Much of the fabric of this historic place has fallen into disrepair and you’ll see a lot of crumbled and crumbling buildings as you walk around. Fortunately, a determined effort is now being made to restore some of Stone Town’s more important architecture.

While a large part of attraction of Stone Town is walking around and simply letting it unfold before you.

RELIGION.

Most of Zanzibaris are Sunni Muslims. Zanzibaris claiming direct descent from Omanis follow Ibadhism. Christians comprise barely 1% of the population. There is also a small Hindu community.
