Why Zanzibar Is The Perfect Place For A Relaxing Holiday

Living in a busy city like Dubai, you may get overwhelmed with all the busy working hours and, of course, the harsh climate. An escape to an idyllic island that offers great views and delicious food is the perfect holiday to have. Spending some time with yourself is the most important step in the self-care process. If you forget to oil and maintain the most important machine in your life: “your body.” Then you will end up getting lost and defocused. So take some time out for yourself and book a relaxing holiday on Zanzibar Island with Yup Africano.

Generally, people choose to spend an entire week relaxing in Zanzibar by including Zanzibar Island in their holiday packages from Dubai to Tanzania.

It’s Not Just a Small Island

Many people call Zanzibar just a small island off mainland Tanzania. But Zanzibar is much more than a tiny island. Zanzibar is an ideal getaway to reduce your stress and get lost in the timeless marvels of Zanzibar city. The island is a cluster of many small islands and has two big islands, Pemba Island and the main island, Unguja. Unguja Island is generally referred to as Zanzibar and is the largest island of all the Zanzibar islands. By including a visit to Zanzibar in your Zanzibar tour packages from Dubai, you will relax and get a rich experience of the trade and history of the African region.

The Spice Trails

Many people think that Zanzibar is just a small island and would rather choose to visit some other place after finishing their Tanzanian safari. Especially the people who are not much into water activities and beaches, don’t include Zanzibar. Whereas the truth is far from this, Zanzibar is much more than beaches and water activities.

An important trade city in ancient times, Zanzibar still has the charm of an old town, offering tours through the spice markets and special visits to spice farms. Imagine taking a stroll in one of the spice markets and inhaling the aromas of different spices. Won’t that be therapeutic? Well, if inhaling the aromas seems so therapeutic, imagine food cooked in these amazing spices.

Arabs, Persians, and Indians all majorly settled on this island and call it their home today. Along with cultural factors, food has had a delicious influence on all the settlers on this island. Bunny chow is a dish that is gaining popularity around the world and is inspired by strong Indian flavors with optimum usage of spices. The dish, though, has a strong influence on the Indian cooking style and has the soul of local cuisine. A relaxing day spent walking on one of the spice farms, followed by shopping trips in the spice markets, and then enjoying yummy meals cooked with those spices. That will be a great relaxing experience and an important factor that will motivate you to go on a Zanzibar holiday from Dubai.

Let’s Rock ‘n’Roll!

If you are a die-hard fan of rock and roll music and enjoy the compositions of Queen, then you must not leave a single chance to include Zanzibar in your Tanzania holiday packages from Dubai. One of the founding members of the Queen band, Freddie Mercury, was born in Zanzibar City. Freddie’s father originally hailed from India and was deputed by the British at one of the posts in Zanzibar city during the colonial times when Tanzania was ruled by the British. The house in which Freddie was born is preserved and has been converted into a museum. Exploring and seeing the house in which your favorite signing star grew up is a worthwhile experience on its own, and it should be the reason you chose to include Zanzibar in your Tanzania safari package from Dubai.

Romantic Getaway

If you want to spend some time with your life partner on a private beach, Zanzibar is an ideal option for you. Most of the beaches on Zanzibar Island have still retained their natural treasures and the island’s not being frequented by many tourists gives you a unique experience and the luxury of having the entire beach to yourself. Team Yup Africano can even arrange a romantic dinner for you and your loved one on one of the remote islands. You can also choose to have a picnic on a remote beach full of strawberries with cream and English sandwiches. You can have a completely customized experience with Yup Africano.

Stone Town: A World Heritage Site

If history and the economy are your favorite subjects to discuss, then you must not miss visiting Stone Town, located in Zanzibar City. It is included in the UNESCO world heritage list and is one of the most ancient and oldest sites on the island. Stone Town is a prime example of a Swahili trading town. This town was built and maintained under several Indian, Arabic, and European influences, but it still managed to retain its soul of Swahili culture.

For an exceptional experience, visit this wonderful island called “Zanzibar”.
