Summary "Zayn za'l barr" - "Beautiful is this country", Arab seafarers are said to have proclaimed once, when they discovered the Zanzibar. It seems a story from "1001 Nights" and "Sindbad, the Seafarer" still anchors today at the pier in front of Stone Town, the legendary old town of Zanzibar. But the Omani sultans, for a long time the rulers on the largest island off the East African coast, also wrote one of the darkest chapters of the fairytale island. They owed their immense wealth to the world's largest slave market of the 19th century. Nearly 3 million people lost their freedom until the British banned the last Sultan from driving people. Travellers, traders and adventurers from all over the world put their feet on Zanzibar's main islands Unguja and Pemba. Still today many of these traces are preserved: the "Shirazi" who immigrated from Persia, the Portuguese merchants, the Sultans from Oman and the colonial adventurers from Burton to Livingston. Today "Stone Town", the old town of Zanzibar, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Karibu Unguja - Welcome to Zanzibar .
