Zanzibar is made of many different cultures. This lovely island was known in the ancient times for the commerce of its spices, and thus the African population received soon the visit of Arabian merchants that brought Islam to the island. Happy people, joyful, always glad to help and make you feel at home. People in Zanzibar is mainly Muslim (only a 3% of the population is Christian, an inheritance of our past), and when you hear the call of the Mu’addhin you’ll see everybody disappear for the prayer for a while: the streets get empty, and there’s a special magic in the air. (Please respect the Muslim culture when you walk in the villages and cover your shoulders and legs.)

But to know the real life of Zanzibar people you just have to sit and look at the beach: the sand is the axis of all the island life. There you have the women, walking and fishing in groups, or checking the seaweed crops with the low tide. There you have the men, sailors most of them, repairing and caulking their dhows. And there you have the kids, enjoying the sand, playing with their self-made balls, cheering and laughing. Because visiting Zanzibar is not just to see a few places or do a few things: it’s discovering its people, and feeling with them what it really means to live in this tropical paradise. Please don‘t get afraid to get in contact with the local people. When they say „Karibu„ they really mean a heartfelt „welcome“.
