Looking for a Zanzibar tour package? If yes, this 9 Day Zanzibar Tours itinerary is just for you. Don’t just think Zanzibar is all about sun, sand and exotic charm.

Additionally, it is also about history and culture. Zanzibar was the last stronghold of the African slave trade and the main growing area for spices. The island has a ruthless side and yet the other side is the fragrance of paradise. The ruling sultans of this magical spice island used their wealth to build grandiose palaces and bath houses.

Zanzibar is a beautiful island, dotted with amazing beaches and secret caves while the interior is green; covered with growing cloves and cinnamon farms.

Ruins of palaces and ancient mosques are dotted throughout the island and are a reminder to a bygone era of Oman Sultans. The whole Zanzibar coast is enclosed by beautiful coral reefs that are embedded in turquoise tropical waters.
