I dare you to walk through these charming streets, vendors calling at you left and right, and leave empty handed. If anything, grab a pair of alibaba pants for the beach! The streets of Stone Town are jam packed with vendors and vibrant storefronts with endless options. You will hear the same swahili phrases like Hakuna Mata, and you will undoubtly become everyone’s favorite sister, but try to take it all in and enjoy the experience. Just don’t buy the first pair you see! Shop around, I promise you’ll find the exact same pair a few stores down the road. And use those bargaining skills. Because who doesn’t like a good deal?

PS. Make sure to walk through the Old Fort on your way to your next experience!
