Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous territory in a political union with Tanzania. It has its own parliament and president. 1.3 million people live on the islands.

The island has a long trading history, it was once one of the main spice and slave-trading ports in East Africa and is until today influenced by African, Arab, European and Indian traditions.

Capital city is Zanzibar City, a Swahili coastal trading town. The town is divided in two parts, Stone Town, the historic center and a World Heritage Site

and Ng'ambo ("The Other Side"), the much larger and more modern part of the city. 100,000 people live in the city.
