Je l'ai déjà été !Explora el fascinante pasado de Zanzibar y descubre cómo se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos.
For centuries, Zanzibar was a vital enclave for Assyrian, Phoenician and Arab traders. It became the center of Swahili culture, thriving on the trade in spices, ivory and, tragically, slaves.
In the 19th century, the Sultanate of Oman moved its capital to Zanzibar, boosting clove production. Later, it became a British protectorate, maintaining an architectural and social mix unique in the world.
After the 1964 revolution, Zanzibar became independent and joined with Tanganyika to form Tanzania. Today it is a top tourist destination that strives to preserve its fragile ecosystem and UNESCO heritage.
