9Stone Town of Zanzibar, Tanzania

Zanzibar’s oldest neighborhood is a jumble of cobbled lanes, towering minarets, and charming old houses, brimming with bustling bazaars, cafés, and restaurants.

Traces of the islands’ European, African, Arabic, and Asian heritage can be noted in the rich architecture of the Stone Town, which is preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site that features a mosque, a Catholic cathedral, an Omani fort, and a palace-museum.
