ZANZIBAR SPICE ISLAND TOUR
The island of Zanzibar, the ornate and mysterious jewel of
the Indian Ocean, was once the eastern gateway to Africa. It
lies twenty-two miles off the Tanzanian coast, and it is no
accident that the explorers Livingstone and Burton had homes
here. Its lush forests and cloistered Arabic alleyways are
indicative of all the esoteric wonders awaiting in the
continent beyond.
The island has long been a meeting a place of the world.
Once the center of the slave and ivory trade, Zanzibar
welcomed into its harbour ships loaded with goods from India
and the Far East as well as Europe and America. An Indian
bazaar still operates on the island today, as well as the
world's largest clove market.
The Omani Arabs who once ruled the island left behind
white-washed architectural delights that are in great
condition. Among them are the Sultan's Palace, the Arab
fort, and the Beit el Ajaib (House of Wonders), which is
Zanzibar's tallest building. Visitors often remark that a
journey to Zanzibar is like going back in time--the
atmosphere is that of the age of colonialism and
exploration, and the haunting ruins of the slave market are
a pointed reminder of the era's exploitative extremes. The
slaves would be driven here from the interior of the
continent, sometimes over 1,000 miles. On some days, hawkers
would sell away as many as 600 lives.
