Tanzania - Zanzibar Gallery B
Zanzibar is
an island 25–50 km (15–30 mi) off the east coast of Tanzania;
it consists of numerous small islands and two large ones: Unguja (the main
island known as Zanzibar), and Pemba. Zanzibar was once a separate country
with a long trading history within the Arab world; it united (not without
bloodshed) with Tanganyika to
form Tanzania in 1964, and still enjoys a high degree of autonomy within
the union. The capital of Zanzibar is Zanzibar
City and its old quarter, known as Stone
Town, is a World Heritage Site. Today the islands enjoy a strong tourism
industry and the natives--of Arab, Indian and Africa descent--go about
their business as usual.
This gallery features a visit to the
major historic buildings in Stone Town (the museum, palace and Livingstone's
house)
and a laid back beach resort called Sunset
Bungalows in the northwest coastal village
of Kendwa.
