Stonetown Architecture Tour by Bike

This tour takes you beyond the picturesque Stone Town and offers deeper insights into urban development from the late 19th century onwards until today. Learn how modern day Zanzibar Town evolved, from East Africa’s first street lighting and water piping to public recreational areas and post-revolution housing projects. Admire the extravagant, Moorish/Saracen inspired buildings of British architect Sir John Sinclair and Indian architect Ajit Singh, who also provided the blueprint for many schools and other public buildings, and hear the background story of Creek Road and the Michenzani flats. It’s a perfect complement and continuation of our Architectural Stone Town Tour.
