📍 Stone Town Citywalk | Zanzibar, Africa

After a week of beach-hopping, I finally explored Stone Town—the historic heart of the spice and slave trade, where African, Arab, and Indian architecture collide. Surprise? It’s tiny—half a day is enough! 🛍️ Shopping Spree Route 1️⃣ Memories of Zanzibar: Fancy souvenirs, but $149 for a wooden leopard?! 🐆💸 Noped out fast. 2️⃣ Hidden Alley Shops: Scored 50% of my gifts here (check my last guide!). Pro tip: Pick a larger shop to bundle+haggle! 3️⃣ Freddie Mercury Museum: Quick peek (RIP Queen legend!). 🎸 4️⃣ INAYA Store: Local beauty brand—their body oil is a hit! 💆‍♀️✨ 5️⃣ Old Fort Shops: Tribal masks (too spooky for me), but unique crafts! 🍹 Sunset & Feast ☀️ Beach House Zanzibar: Cocktails + epic sunset views! 🦀 (Baibao Ta) Chinese Restaurant: Crab with ginger/scallions = HUGE portions, insane roe! Seaweed salad = crisp perfection. (Dalian-approved!) 🇨🇳❤️ ⏳ Quick Takes Stone Town = compact but dense. Prioritize shopping + sunset. HAGGLE HARD—alley shops > tourist traps. Freddie’s house = skippable unless you’re a superfan. #Zanzibar #StoneTown #AfricaTravel #HiddenGems #TravelSlow
