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 beach resort
called Sunset Bungalows in the northwest coastal village
of Kendwa.
