Tour Ref MSA 2604

The tour presents some of the best highlights of this colorful old city. You will visit the bustling fruit and vegetable market, which has been in operation since colonial days. As you wander the streets of the Old Arab Town, you will see the intricate hand carved doors, and balconies hanging over the narrow streets, unchanged for hundreds of years.

Protecting the harbor is the Fort Jesus which was built by the Portuguese over 400 years ago to protect their interest in East Africa against Omani Arabs. You will see and understand how it turned from a fort to a prison and today as a tourist attraction. You will walk under the famous elephant tusks on Moi Avenue, which you probably have seen in those old African adventure movies. Finally, we visit the Akamba wood carvers center to purchase a fine hand carved African souvenir
