Definitely recommend visiting a kind of market you will never forget the smell of, nor the sight. A market that you will never see in the western world. Definitely don’t buy the fish or meat there for hygienic reasons, but then again the food you eat at the restaurant probably comes from there so yeah hahaAnd if you want to see the sadness of hunted sharks, you see some for sale there as well.. Truly shocked me to see a shark head cut in half..

The Stone Town Market is interesting to see, as I imagine its been around for many years. But beware of any expectations. Very unhygienic for western standards, but fine for Africa... With live animals being slaughtered, flies, smells of the poultry market, fish market, etc. I also saw fruit totally foreign to me, and had a mini spice tour. I dont think Ive said No thank you so many times in an hour in my entire life! Everyone cuts to sell you something!! ☺️

Great experience. Just be sure you know what to expect, it is very informal, not hygienic at all and there arent any clean WCs or toilets available.

Had an excellent guide Hamadi and Juma (excuse the spelling). They spoke very good English, had a lot of insight and knowledge on the town, people and the history. They made the trip interesting and always had the time to help and arrange other activities. Well done guys. You were a true asset to Zanzibar. Contact Hamadi on this local number +255655959931

Darajani Market at stone town is very popular and has all food types from vegetables, fruits and fish /meeting.But also clothes from local fashion sold in a better price not only that but also electronics staff on the other sidr of the road , house utensils and few computer store. There is also few banks therefore this market place provide accessibility to most of things you may need
