Zanzibar is a Tanzanian archipelago off the coast of East Africa. It is located in the Indian Ocean and consists of many small islands and two large ones: Unguja and Pemba Island. The capital is Zanzibar City, located on the island of Unguja. Its historic centre, Stone Town, is a World Heritage Site.

Step into a maze of centuries. Stone Town’s narrow alleys twist between coral-stone buildings, their famous carved wooden doors — studded with brass and etched with Arabic calligraphy — hinting at the wealth of sultans and spice traders who once called this port home. Wander past bustling bazaars heavy with the scent of cloves and cardamom, glimpse ornate mosques and the spires of Anglican and Catholic cathedrals standing side by side. Lose yourself in a UNESCO World Heritage old town where Swahili, Arab, Persian, Indian and European influences blend into something entirely its own. Just steps from the harbour, dhows drift out to sea as they have for generations — a timeless reminder that Stone Town isn’t a museum piece, but a living, breathing crossroads of cultures, still writing its story one spice-scented evening at a time.

We have time this afternoon to relax and enjoy the beach as we reminisce on a wonderful experience.

A free day today until late this afternoon, when we return to the airport and start our homeward journey.

We arrive Dubai and connect to our flight back to Auckland.

We arrive mid morning back home.
