Zanzibar provides a mix of palm-fringed beaches, turquoise seas, and a melting pot of different cultures. Zanzibar is a majestic Indian Ocean island paradise off the coast of Tanzania that has remained remarkably untouched. It's the world's largest coral island, located off the coast of Africa, and is known for its centuries-old sailing dhows, ornately carved wooden doors, and the aroma of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, earning it the moniker "Spice Island."
