CULTURE & ARTS: LUX: The Old Dispensary is a beautifully restored building that houses the Stone Town Cultural Center. The Palace Museum, the historic home of the Sultans, provides a fascinating glimpse of lavish lives. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site the old buildings in Stone Town are carefully preserved and maintain stylistic integrity. LOCAL: Stone Town Market is a busy and chaotic place- a fascinating look into daily life of the island. Buy locally grown spices and homemade soap by the kilo. Moto Handicrafts holds workshops on traditional weaving and batiks if one wishes to learn how to make traditional handicrafts or purchase ready made items. December 2013 |
