One can see the whole of Stone Town here. Try the local coffee while sitting on a bench at this small square and listen to news updates and arguments flying around, watch the people walking by, as if aimlessly and feel part of The 3D Matrix! The most sought-after vantage point is next to the 400V electricity box.
Nice to sit and observe locals enjoying their daily routine
The site is unique. A small square: the heart of the chaotic city of Stonetown. The facades of the old houses around the square are painted white and purple and some beautiful doors that belong to the UNESCO Heritage are also preserved, carved in wood, in Indian, Arabic or Swahili styles from the 18th century, from Zanzibars heyday.In the center there is a table where young and old men meet to play checkers, chess ... and next to it, a telephone on top of a wooden pole that says free international calls. On a corner, a man serves tea for those interested, another one sells local fresh fruit.We were said that when football is transmitted in TV, on the corner where the man was serving tea, they place a TV and all the village come here to watch the match, the love soccer!On one of the walls of the square we suddenly find this painting of a shark and that refers to the movie. Why? I do not know!
A place where people meet and talks together and playing some games like draught and having coffes,also people watches footbal matches at this area, a good place to see how zanzibarian people interact to each other and how friendly they live together.
One of the best things to check here. Drink coffee. Hang out with locals. Best experince is to watch football here. One of the must to visit thing in Zanzibar! I love it
Nothing much here except people have been gathering here for many years. They painted whale/fish to give importance to the place.
Nice corner, got a few nice hotels around, some with sky bars. Not sure whats so special here

An open-air coffee shop where local people sit in the barazes and chin. Its named after a Jaws picture on a wall. He was a humorous artist. Say hello, sit down, have coffee, chat. Baraza: Stone benches for sitting in front of houses along the street. Translated into English as council. It can be called council or council in Turkish.
Feel home there. When you talk to Swahili and say hello, you always get a ginger or spiced tea and in the morning also a special Zanzibar coffee
Very impressive multiculturalism. Traders could be less invasive!
If you have nothing special, then you just invent something.
Very nice part of town. Glasan, fun, beautiful ...
Nice staff and good shopping
