Spoken languages are Swahili and English. History (short version) Mombasa was an Arab trading center from the 8th century until the 18th century. The Portuguese (namely Vasco da Gama,) became the first known Europeans to visit the port of Mombasa in 1498, but were met with hostility and soon departed. The Portuguese eventually controlled the city from 1529 to 1698, when a three-year siege of Fort Jesus by Arabs ended with their expulsion. In the 18th century Mombasa was again briefly held by the Portuguese but then became subject to Oman, whose local representative eventually became the independent ruler of Zanzibar. In 1887 it passed to the British and became capital of the British East Africa Protectorate of Kenya until 1907.
