Zanzibar Island

Zanzibar Island

Zanzibar Island, the spice island of Zanzibar, with its interesting history influenced by early Arab traders, offers beautiful beaches in the Indian Ocean and beach hotels of all standards. Consisting of the main islands Unguja and Pemba as well as several smaller, untouched islands, the Zanzibar Archipelago features gorgeous, palm-fringed white sandy beaches that stretch into the warm turquoise waters and invite visitors to unwind and soak up the sun.

The capital of Zanzibar City with its old historic centre of Stone Town, a UNESCO world heritage site, is situated on Unguja Island and is often referred to simply as Zanzibar. Its eventful history of gruesome slave and exotic trade still shows traces everywhere. Magnificent Sultan’s palaces and grand Arab houses, winding alleys and bustling bazaars give visitors the feeling of being immersed in the world of Sindbad and Alibaba. Here is a sample combine holiday package for Tanzania and Zanzibar Island.
