The iconic House of Wonders, once the tallest building in East Africa, reflects Zanzibar’s royal history and pioneering advancements in technology. The former Slave Market, now the site of the Anglican Cathedral, serves as a solemn reminder of the island’s role in the East African slave trade. At Darajani Market, the lively atmosphere and aromatic spices showcase Zanzibar’s thriving trade heritage. As you meander through the narrow streets, intricate wooden doors reveal the town’s diverse architectural influences from Arab, Persian, Indian, and European traditions.
