Stone Town Tour

Visit the House of Wonders

The House of Wonders was constructed in 1883 by Barghash bin Said, the second Sultan of Zanzibar, as a ceremonial palace. Barghash made the door extra wide so he could enter the house on the back of an elephant, and the building’s large pillars and two-story clock tower were covered in white paint.

The Stone Town offers a chance for history lovers to know and understand the history of Zanzibar through time. Lots of key buildings are still in place, some being turned into great museums like the infamous House of Wonders and the neighboring Old Fort.

The best part of all is exploring the multi-cultural and multi-religion communities living together in harmony. The Stone Town Tour in Zanzibar will make sure you’re not missing a thing.
