The main island is about 60 miles long and 20 miles wide, with a diverse landscape ranging from pristine beaches and coral reefs to lush forests and spice plantations.
One of the top destinations on the island is Stone Town, the historic old quarter of Zanzibar City. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its winding alleys, ornate Arabic architecture, bustling markets, and rich Swahili culture.
