The “Spice Islands” of Zanzibar Archipelago, Pemba, and Mafia, are a boiling pot of culture, mixed together through centuries of exotic trade. Traditionally a trading route connecting the Swahili coast with Arab and Indian nations, this area is a predominantly Islamic Region, with enchanting customs that have stood the test of time.
