Top Things to do in Zanzibar Island
What to do and see in Zanzibar Island, Zanzibar Archipelago: The Best Historic Sites
The Zanzibar Archipelago, located in the Indian Ocean 15 miles off the coast of Tanzania, is a breathtaking spot to escape from the world. You’ll enjoy clear, turquoise-blue water; shallow sandbars perfect for wading; and many small, nearly deserted islands virtually unvisited by tourists. Explore the World Heritage Site of Stone Town, Zanzibar City’s old quarter. Or just go beach to beach between tiny fishing villages—each one's better than the next.

Fukuchani ruins are on the edge of the village of the same name, in Zanzibar. Beside a large school on the western side of the road, there's a small signpost under a baobab tree which will point you in the right direction, along a track that bisects the local football pitch. The ruin is known locally as the 'Portuguese House'

Christ Church Cathedral was a part of our half day tour of Stone City. It's very important to recognise and maintain the history and this Anglican Cathedral is a great example of the dark past of the Zanzibar. This Cathedral is a part of Zanzibar's history and culture as well and that's why it is a must do things to visit in Zanzibar. Next to to the Cathedral is a monument to the slaves. It's also a great example of a slave market.
