History And Cultural Heritage Abound

Even though Zanzibar is a part of a big country and is attached to mainland Tanzania, Zanzibar has its own unique identity. Talking about the economy, Zanzibar is quite self-sufficient and is partially dependent on mainland Tanzania. The reason for this is that Zanzibar is an old port connected to the ancient spice route. So, even today you can find some amazing spices in Zanzibar. More on this later. Let us dwell a bit on the history of Zanzibar.

Being part of the ancient spice route, Zanzibar attracted people from various different nationalities, such as Arabs, Indians, Persians, and Europeans. All of these people left their mark in Zanzibar in one way or another, and as a result, Zanzibar has a rich cultural and historical heritage. Even today, you can find many of these nationalities settled in Zanzibar and calling it their home. A stroll through any lane in Zanzibar will give you the unique experience of having visited all these different nations in one stroke.

Even if you want to travel in groups, Zanzibar has a unique offering for everyone. So, arrange for a customized group trip in Dubai to visit Zanzibar with team Yup Africano.

Spice Farms

While Zanzibar was one of the ancient spice route ports, it soon became a central and important trading town between India and the Arab world. Along with being a trading city, people settled in Zanzibar and tried to cultivate the spices on their lands, so you can find several spice farms on the island. Turmeric, Black Pepper, Cloves, and many more such spices are grown on this tiny island. You can visit any of these spice farms and see how the spices are cultivated, processed, and packed for trade.

The pleasant aromas of these farms will make you want to spend an entire day, or even a week, strolling through them. You can even visit the spice markets and buy some of these spices for your own use. For the culinary enthusiasts in your family, don’t forget to include a visit to spice farms and markets in your Zanzibar tour packages from Dubai.

Unique Architecture

If gazing at the wonderful marvel of the one-of-a-kind building is your idea of a perfect vacation, then you must include a visit to Zanzibar in your trip from Dubai.Since the island was majorly populated by different nationalities for several centuries, you can find a rich influence of all the different architectural styles in the ancient buildings of Zanzibar. When the Arabic style of construction meets the Persian style and blends with the sweet notes of Indian architecture, it gives birth to a construction style that can be found nowhere in the world. You can spend days gazing at different historical buildings in Zanzibar and yet never get bored with the unique offerings.

So, all these different elements that you can witness in Zanzibar make it a beautiful and must-see place on your African trip.
