Stone Town 2022 078
2022 Zanzibar, Tanzania
This alleyway winds through Stone Town, the old Swahili trading quarter of Zanzibar City. The old town grew as a major trading post on the Indian Ocean spice and ivory routes under the 19th-century Sultanate of Zanzibar, and the quarter is known for its elaborately carved wooden doors, often studded with brass, a craft blending Arab and Indian influences.
