Visa on Arrival in Tanzania | N Things You Still Know About Zanzibar Island

| N Things You Still Know About Zanzibar Island. Jambo! I can't believe this is Tanzania. Stone Town of Zanzibar Island, a World Heritage Site. Arriving at night, the city is full of fireworks, as if returning to the Middle East. ❤️Now the small Oman, during the gap between the Ottoman Empire and Britain becoming the Middle East hegemony, established a huge Indian Ocean Empire: the Sultanate of Zanzibar. Zanzibar was once the capital of Oman, a large number of Omani immigrants came here, and the architectural style of the Ottoman Empire can be seen everywhere. At the same time, it integrates the architectural decoration styles of India, Persia, Arabia, and Europe. I also saw the representative wooden doors of Oman and the hats worn by Omanis. ✈️Transportation: It takes only ten minutes to fly from Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar Island, which is very close. The T2 on the island is domestic, and the T3 is international. You can also take a boat, return to the mainland from Zanzibar Island, and buy boat tickets at the edge of Stone Town. The round trips are at 7:30, 9:30, 12:30, and 4 o'clock, four times a day. 🚘Car rental: Be sure to rent in advance, it's cheap. Temporary online booking is not available, and there are not many stores in Stone Town. In addition to an international driver's license, you also need a $10 permit. It's not full fuel return, it's empty fuel for you, add as much as you use, and if there is more left, it will be converted into money for you There are no street lights, and at night rely on roadside merchants not turning off the lights When a roadside police officer asks you to pull over, remember to turn on the left turn signal 💰Currency: The exchange rate is about 25, and it's good at 26. The old post office in Stone Town has the best exchange rate. 🆗Official language: Swahili, English, very few people do not speak English, Britain was once the protectorate here. It is still right-hand drive, British standard, many hotels have universal sockets. ❣️Tips: Drink bottled water, tap water is seawater, salty. Many African countries are like this, it will cause diarrhea When booking a place to stay, remember to see if there is air conditioning, some really don't have 🦑Seafood Auction Market: Navigate to Unguja Ukuu Kaepwani, the end of the road is. It starts at 1:30 every afternoon, watching them walk from the mudflats with fish baskets on their heads. Muslim women have been sitting in rows, waiting to bid. Less than 3 dollars can buy a dozen crabs, not as delicious as mud crabs, a bit empty. There are also pufferfish, eels, squid, stingrays...... 🏝️ The Rock Restaurant Zanzibar On the east coast of Zanzibar Island, there are beautiful shells everywhere on the white sand beach. The Rock Restaurant, a restaurant built on a rock in the sea, is most beautiful at sunset There are a few police officers every once in a while on the road, saying that there are people lurking in the bushes at night, waiting to rob the property of Europeans going to party 🌀Other: I often see people carrying Chinese brand tote bags, and later found out that these tote bags are sold in convenience stores, 500 shillings each, 0.2 dollars. I also saw a Shanghai Phoenix 28 bike at the fish market. The common handkerchief is 4 dollars, very expensive and of poor quality The majority are black people, supplemented by Middle Eastern immigrants, there are also quite a few Indians, then European and American tourists, the least are East Asian faces. Every Change Begins With Dreams. This is living.
