Remember the stone city in "One Thousand and One Nights"? The stone city of Zanzibar is the archetypal town in the story. Stone City, a coastal commercial city built by the Swahili people in East Africa, was once the historical and cultural center of Zanzibar, and its vicissitudes for more than 200 years have not changed its status.

when you think of Zanzibar a lot of things come to mind, but stonetown stands out. stonetown is why you'd imagine the streets in the Arabian night stories, ancient Persia, Babylon. it's a fusion of the past present and future
