Zanzibar

Zanzibar is an archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, consisting of two main islands, Unguja and Pemba, along with several smaller ones. Known for its stunning beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture, Zanzibar was a major trading hub for spices, ivory, and slaves in the past. The capital, Stone Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its unique blend of African, Arab, and European influences. Today, Zanzibar is popular with tourists seeking both relaxation and cultural experiences, such as exploring markets, trying local cuisine, and enjoying its diverse marine life.
