"I'm Ahmad Nk from Zanzibar-Tanzania. A professional tourism service provider. I officially work as heritage guide in my country. I represent Zanzibar-Tanzania and my guiding section: history, culture, Architecture, and marine life. From than on I provide all excursions in zanzibar." Stone Town is the historical centre of Zanzibar City, the capital of the Zanzibar archipelago. As a primary trading post on the spice, silk and slave trade routes for over a millennium, Stone Town has been a unique meeting place, blending African, Indian, Arabian and European cultures. It isone of the few remaining ancient towns in Africa. It’s beauty, and historical value has earned it a well-deserved place on the UNESCO world heritage list. Not only is this city visually beautiful, with old colonial buildings and exquisitely carved Zanzibari doorways, but your senses will be overwhelmed with the scent of the sea and spice and the calls to prayer echoing from the minarets.
