Zanzibar

Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania in East Africa with a population of just over 1 million. It consists of numerous small islands and two large ones: the main island of Unguja (Zanzibar) and Pemba. The capital is Zanzibar City, while its historical center is Stone Town, which is a World Heritage Site.

 

The enchanting white sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters mesmerize visitors, while the blend of African, Arabic, Indian and European cultural elements makes the local culture unique!

 

The wide variety of settlers and traders from all over the world and the famous spice plantations (mainly cloves, cinnamon and black pepper) not only influenced the development of the islands but also created a distinct local cuisine worth trying.
