Livingstone House
This house was given to David Livingstone for a few weeks by Sultan Seyyid Said
when Livingstone was fitting out his last exhibition to the mainland in 1866.
It was originally a single storeyed housed belonging to Seyyid Khalid bin Said.
At some point in its history, the building was used as a rest house for invalids
and for religious meetings, by the Ithnaasheri Khoja Community.
In 1947 the government purchased it and today it houses the offices of
the Zanzibar Tourist Corporation--and is in disrepair.
Inside there is a small exhibit of dusty engravings and documents on display.
