Located off the east coast of Tanzania on the picturesque island of Zanzibar, Zanzibar City is a historic jewel in the Indian Ocean, known for its enticing blend of African, Arabian, and European influences. This vibrant city, made up of two main parts: the modern Ng'ambo and the ancient Stone Town, wraps visitors in a compelling amalgam of culture and history. Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site best recognized for its labyrinthine alleys, bustling bazaars, and intricately carved wooden doors, stands as a living testament to the rich history that threads through the city's veins. Zanzibar City flaunts its sultan's palaces, Persian baths, and the ancient Slave Market alongside stunning turquoise beaches and vibrant markets brimming with spices, making it a captivating destination that offers an alluring slice of the exotic for every traveller.

I’ve felt very safe here as have many of my friends who have travelled or lived here previously. There are some issues with overly forward men, but ultimately they take no for an answer which is better than what I can say about North America.
