Unguja is the most visited island and home to Stone Town, the cultural and historical heart of Zanzibar.

History & Culture

Zanzibar has a unique blend of African, Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influences due to centuries of trade along the Indian Ocean.

Zanzibar is also known as the birthplace of Freddie Mercury, the legendary Queen singer.
