 Stone Town
 World Heritage Site
Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, grew out of Zanzibar�s historical trades, a metropolis built to harbour secrets in its labyrinthine alleyways.
Emblems of a rich and tumultuous history survive today, depicted through Arabian Nights palaces, mournful Slave Markets, aromatic spice bazaars, ornate cathedrals and an historic fort that was the scene of the worlds� shortest war survive today.
A walk through the narrow alleyways, past ornately carved doors and serene courtyards, is a journey along the paths of past existences.
Although Zanzibar's allure is born out of myth and legend, the dhows still sail her shores, and beyond the minaret-toothed skylines, the sun still sets to the sound of the call to prayer.
