Zanzibar Island

Zanzibar is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean with the main island of the same name, located northeast of Dar es Salaam, 35 kilometers from the coast. The main advantages of this place are a rich and diverse cultural heritage, carefully preserved coast, clean coastal waters and many species of marine animals.

Zanzibar has white clean sandy beaches, along which stretch picturesque fishing villages. Not far from the capital are the beaches of Fuji and Chuini with a rich selection of water sports, and to the north there is a very quiet and secluded beach of Mangapwani.

One of the main attractions of Zanzibar is its capital, Stone Town, founded by Arab traders in the IX century. The city is decorated with two former palaces of the sultans, two huge cathedrals, colonial mansions, abandoned ancient baths in the Persian style and a whole collection of bizarre buildings of foreign consulates.
