Jumba la Mtwana
Parim aeg külastamiseks
The freshness of the early morning, right from opening, makes the visit ideal: the golden light illuminates the coral and the ocean breeze keeps the walk pleasant. Avoid the afternoons of the hot season between January and March, when the temperature exceeds 35 °C in the shade.
Eelarvenõuanded
Count about 500 KSh for non-resident adults and 200 KSh for Kenyan residents, a rate much lighter than that of the big museums on the coast. Students with a card pay less, children even less, and the ticket is purchased directly on site.
Soovitatav
Fans of archaeology and Swahili culture, Photographers in search of soft light, Walkers and nature lovers, Travelers seeking peace and quiet

Teave
Kiired faktid: Nimi tõlgitakse swahili keeles kui "orjamaja", üsna veider hüüdnimi sellele 14. sajandi meremeeste ja kaupmeeste külale. Korallist majade ja mošeede varemed laiuvad vanade iilekipuude all, vastamisi abajaga, kus tõus ja mõõn toimub kaks korda päevas.
Esiletõstmised: Suure mošee sees on koralli raiutud palvenišš püsinud pärast seitset sajandit meretuuli peaaegu puutumatuna. Iilekipuu juured haaravad müüre ümber nagu hiiglaslikud sõrmed ja kalurid räägivad siiani, et hauakivisammas oli kanuudele orientiiriks.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Wear real closed-toe shoes, coral shards cut like glass.
- Bring water and mosquito repellent, the paths cross a real shaded coastal forest.
- Climb up to the terrace of the big house to photograph the cove and the baobabs in the morning light.
- At low tide, go down the beach below the ruins: the walk remains deserted and gives a unique view of the walls from the sea.
