Very wide choice of souvenirs, a/c which cools you down during hot day and clean toilets. So despite the fact it is a souvenir shop, i think it is good to spend there few minutes and maybe buy something. Just as we did and afterwards we hit hot streets of Stone Town.

The place offer multiple gift for tourists, culture man made artifacts..near by there is bank service, money exchange, and its too close to Forodhani food markets. .The Time you plan to departure to your home, its best to visit and have some gift with you to take home. Asante

Probably, one of the best spots where to get all you need for presents to bring back home! Also a lot of local produced items! Suggest to visit and check it out!

Typical tourist trap. Nothing authentic about this place, walk the side street and markets for better prices and more authentic products.

This was a clean air conditioned shop in the middle of stone town .the prices are fixed so dont need to haggle....but you do pay a premium. We bought 2 bowls and a large wooden serving platter....wrapped up well for transport home and served by polite staff .good shopping well worth the visit .

Prices are extremely high for even South African standards. Most of the things are not quite Zanzibar made but either Chinese ( plastic magnets and plush toys) or Zim made wooden goods, which you can get them for half the price in Rosebank flea market. The tanzanite jewels are double international prices per carat, so its prob cheaper to buy it in your own country. Place is nice with aircon and so on, but mostly rip off. If you got deep pockets, shop here.

Very well presented and a wide quality range in a clean shop. The prices are not too bad as one would be expecting to pay the usual tourist premium. Youll definately find a worthy take-home item or gift

Located in Shangani area, Stone town, it is a nice place to buy some souvenirs and gifts. You get good quality items compared to other shops and that means more pay😶I always visited this place whenever Im in Zanzibar.

Review №23

This is different form ordinary shops in the Stone Town. You can find relatively high-quality and fashionable goods here. The Japanese shop owners motto is that her shops should be the good place not only for the travelers but the foreigners staying Africa seeking for something special with good quality. So it is recommendable for such people.If your time is limited for buying souvenirs in the Stone Town, this is the best place to go. You can find wide variety of goods and the prices are fixed.

Large, professionally run souvenir shop. No haggling or carnival barkers here. Two stories with most of your needs met. Tee shirts and trinkets, magnets and bracelets. Plus, a very good book selection on the second floor.

Al
Review №25

Souvenir shop that is professionally run. You can find most of what you would need, however in comparison to other shops is quite pricy. No bargaining whatsoever, with everything having a price tag. On the other hand, quality of the products is good.

An
Review №26

Great place to make a first stop to understand the options for souvenirs and price points. You can find stuff for cheaper if you have the time and desire for bargaining, but regardless this will set a good point of comparison. They accept credit card and there’s AC!

.....A Nice Upmarket Souvenir Shop in the Heart of the business area of Stone Town! Lots of the same things you can get from the street vendor Hahahaha! But there air-con is the best and a Great Escape from the Hot, hot Zanzibar Sun!...Interesting experience as this is all part and parcel of the Tourist Industrii!! .....Nice & Cool!!!.....

The biggest souvenir store in Zanzibar, Memories of Zanzibar offers the most extensive selection of quality items all under one roof, at reasonable prices. Situated within walking distance of major Stone Town hotels such as Serena, Tembo, Dhow Palace and upcoming Hilton, you can count on a pleasant shopping atmosphere and service with a smile.
