Once the site of a gaol for misbehaving slaves,
the island lies just off the old stone town. It is fringed with a
beautiful coral reef, ideal for snorkelling, and has a lovely white
beach for sun-bathing.
The small tropical island of Zanzibar, a mere twenty miles off the east coast of Africa, has played a part in local history out of all proportion to its size. The reason is its easy access to traders and adventurers exploring down the east coast of Africa from Arabia. Islam is well established in this region by the 11th century.
