Zanzibar Archipelago

The Zanzibar Archipelago is a group of islands located off the coast of East Africa, near Tanzania. It consists of several main islands, including Unguja (commonly called Zanzibar Island) and Pemba, along with smaller islets. Known for its stunning white-sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs, Zanzibar is a popular destination for tourism, especially for snorkeling, diving, and exploring rich history and culture. The islands have a unique blend of African, Arab, European, and Indian influences, reflected in their architecture, cuisine, and traditions. Zanzibar's strategic location has historically made it a key trading hub.
