Zanzibar Cultural Tour Summary

6 days Zanzibar Cultural tour will take you to Zanzibar the home for different culture. Zanzibar has lured travelers to its shores for centuries, some in search of trade, some in search of plunder and others in search of an idyllic home. The annals of Zanzibar read like a chapter of the Thousand and One Nights. The Sumerians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Indians, Chinese, Persians, Portuguese, Oman Arabs, Dutch and English have all been here at one time or other. Some, notably the Shiraz Persians and the Oman Arabs, stayed to settle and rule. Zanzibar’s people are a distillation of the nations of travelers, pilgrims, fishermen, explorers and merchants who stopped here in time’s passage. Islam is the dominant religion and practiced by most Zanzibarians , which is reflected in many aspects of the lives of the residents. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming.
