Top Places to See in Zanzibar
Hand-picked by our travel experts — the experiences that define this destination.
The Spice Island of the Indian Ocean
Zanzibar is a dream island — a semi-autonomous archipelago off the coast of Tanzania where turquoise Indian Ocean waters lap against powder-white beaches, ancient dhows sail at sunset, and the air is perfumed with cloves, cinnamon, and vanilla. The UNESCO-listed Stone Town is a labyrinth of carved wooden doors, mosques, and bazaars that reflects centuries of Arab, Persian, Indian, and African trade. For Indian travelers, Zanzibar holds a special resonance — the island's history is deeply intertwined with Indian Ocean trade, and the Swahili culture bears unmistakable Indian influences.
