Stone Town lanes
A tight, irregular network of alleys on a small peninsula, too narrow for most cars. On the map it appears as a dense, textured patch on the western shore.

About this Zanzibar map poster
Zanzibar, known locally as Unguja, is the main island of the Zanzibar Archipelago, across a channel from mainland Tanzania in the Indian Ocean. From above it is long and fairly flat, running north to south and edged with white beaches, lagoons and coral reef. Roads fan out from Zanzibar City on the west coast to fishing villages and resort strips in the east.
The heart of any Zanzibar map poster is Stone Town, the historic core of Zanzibar City, built on a small triangular peninsula. Its streets are narrow, irregular lanes that twist between coral-stone houses, mosques and courtyards. At map scale they form a fine lacework unlike any modern grid. Beyond it, the newer city spreads inland in wider, looser blocks.
Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was shaped by centuries of Swahili, Arab, Persian, Indian and European influence, and by the Indian Ocean trade in spices, ivory and enslaved people. The island was once a leading producer of cloves. Freddie Mercury was born here in 1946, and the Jozani forest is home to the rare Zanzibar red colobus monkey.

East coast reef
A fringing coral reef runs along much of the east coast, with wide lagoons and tidal flats inside it. At low tide the sea pulls back a long way from the beaches.
Jozani forest
Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, in the south-central part of the island, protects forest and mangroves. It is home to the Zanzibar red colobus and shows on the map as an area with almost no roads.

Why Zanzibar
A map that means something
Zanzibar hangs on the walls of honeymooners, divers, families from the island's diaspora and anyone who has lost an afternoon in the alleys of Stone Town. That intricate old quarter against the plain coastline makes a print that rewards close looking.
Personalise the title and subtitle, perhaps with Unguja or a date, and adjust the coordinates line. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. You receive either HD files without a watermark or a matte poster, framed if you like.
