About Zanzibar island

Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous island and archipelago off the coast of Tanzania in the Indian Ocean, famous for its white-sand beaches, spice trade history, and rich cultural fusion. Its main island, Unguja, is home to the historic Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its maze of narrow streets and coral stone buildings. The island’s tropical climate, diverse marine life, and popular activities like diving, snorkeling, and spice tours make it a major tourist destination.
