Rooms and places to stay in Stone Town
Stone Town is the old heart of Zanzibar City and a UNESCO World Heritage Site: a maze of narrow alleys, carved wooden doors, markets and coral-stone houses shaped by Swahili, Arab, Indian and European history.
It is the place for culture and food, from the night market at Forodhani Gardens to spice tours and boat trips to Prison Island. It is also the most convenient base for the ferry to Dar es Salaam and for the airport.
