Tourism in Zanzibar Island

Zanzibar Island covers an area of 240 square kilometers and has a population of 6.5438+0 million.

Tanzania consists of Tanganyika, a mainland with a population of 36 million, and Zanzibar Island at sea. Si Tong Town, the capital of Zanzibar Island, was once the court of Sultan of Oman. This city was built with stones from the outside when the Sultan built a palace in 1883. Mr. Harry told us that there are 6.5438+0.5 million people living in Stone Town, 95% of whom believe in Muslims and 5% believe in Christ, which makes the city full of strong religious color. Walking around the stone town for an hour or two, you can see the historical sites in 2000. Urban planning and design have attracted many talents, and different styles of architecture in Arabia, India, Europe and Africa complement each other. Zanzibar Island has palaces, veiled Arab women, mixed-race buildings and food from Africa and the East, and beautiful women with different skin colors and customs ... Under the leadership of Mr. Harry and Mr. Moussa, our car stopped at the seaside. Everyone picked up their luggage, crossed the ancient and deep alleys, and stayed in a beautiful and chic resort hotel with a panoramic view of the window. This hotel is small in scale, but simple and exquisite. The lobby retains the local traditional style, and the hotel has no elevator. The rooms here have a strong Muslim style, dark green curtains and white gauze curtains; Antique floors, brass chandeliers, traditional wooden furniture, doors and windows give people a quiet and warm feeling.

Mr. Harry said humorously, "China people are obsessed with ivory and jade, while Indians worship sandalwood, and Arabs prefer cloves in the kitchen." Because Zanzibar Island is rich in cloves, Zanzibar Island has a fragrant name: Lilac Island. The economic sources here are mainly spice manufacturing and tourism.
