Located in Paje the seaweed forest is yet another interesting place to visit when in the vicinity. It has a unique appeal that makes it attractive and well worth the visit.

This is perhaps one of the biggest attractions in all of Zanzibar. Also known as the palace of wonders this is the tallest building in the Stone Town and thanks to its location it is a great attraction to explore as a whole.
