Fakte të shpejta: A stunning blend of ancient Swahili architecture and vibrant coastal culture pulses through the streets here. You can still see centuries-old coral stone houses and old mosques catching the golden sunlight by the sea.
Pikat kryesore: The town’s intricate coral stone buildings hold mysteries carved into every wall, reflecting its rich trade history with Arabian and Persian merchants. Walking through, you might catch the scent of frankincense mingled with ocean breezes, a sensory trip back in time.
