Oct 22nd-Oct 26th: Visiting the Island of Zanzibar




Mariam Ali, a Zanzibari Tourist Guide and Boutique Store owner.

Narrow streets of Stone town, where light bends and time warps and slows down.

Entrance to the fort that was once a slave market and now a church.


A muslim school. One encounters many of these Quranic madarrassa schools.


A memorial for the Slave Trade
An Old Fort now converted into a Church and Livingstone Museum



Old fort converted into an eatery and open amphitheater for Taarub performances.

A mosque minaret and a church spire.
Once a palace for the Sultan, now a government monument and museum.


Entrance from Forodhani to the Stone Town. The Zanzibari Mix by the Ocean Front.

Hey Jules, Beautiful pictures. Like the picture of the very narrow street though the picture of the slave sculptures is heart wrenching. Is that you waiting to buy the mishkaki?
