Stone Town
Narrow alleys of Stone Town evoke long gone days of the busy trading centre that brought together gold, ivory and slaves to be sold and sent around the world.
The mild decay of faded architecture adds to the atmosphere of vibrant markets and fine old buildings - today hosting a proliferation of internet cafes. Brass studded, carved wooden doors were contructed to reflect the owner wealth.
Fresh seafood and Swahili spices are the perfect accompaniment to views of traditional sailing dhows in the colourful harbour.
Tourism has replaced the thriving trade of the Omani Empire. Sultan's Palaces have become Museums while memorial statues commemorate the horrors of slavery. Riches for the few, death and unimaginable suffering for many.
