Discover the hidden gems of the UNESCO Heritage Site of Stone Town From the Proximity of Tembo.

The Old Stone Town has been a World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO for more than a decade now. Discover and tour the primary City market, which opened in 1904, to obtain a complete picture of Stone Town’s architecture, including its sand and stone antique buildings with Arab/Indian carved doors, brass studs, and balconies.

Along the twisting lanes of Stone Town, former palaces and Arab mansions (Sultan’s Palace Museum, House of Wonders, also known as Beit-el-ajaib, built-in 1886) hint at a grander age for this port city on Zanzibar’s western coast. The old fort, built to fend off the Portuguese in the 1700s, today serves as a venue for local performances, a café, and an art gallery. The Anglican Cathedral of Christ, of course, is a must-see, built by bishop Stevens in 1873 on the site of the old slave market.
