Zanzibar – A Dream Destination with a Fascinating Past
Zanzibar, also known as Unguja, is a dreamy travel destination with a rich and complex history. Today, the island is peaceful and flourishing, drawing visitors from around the world with its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant cultural heritage. Its historic old town, Stone Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wandering through its narrow alleyways, past Arab-influenced architecture and bustling markets, is an unforgettable experience. It's important to acknowledge that Zanzibar was a major hub of the slave trade in the 19th century, but it has since overcome this dark chapter and now welcomes travelers from all over the globe with its idyllic shores.
