Каменный город Занзибар - прекрасный пример прибрежных торговых городов Восточной Африки. Здесь практически без изменений сохранена городская среда и городской ландшафт, включающий в себя множество прекрасных зданий, которые отражают его специфическую культуру, сформировавшуюся на протяжении по больше чем тысячелетия, соедившую казалось бы несоизмеримые элементы культур Африки, Аравии, Индии и Европы .
