The map
About this Zanzibar map poster
Zanzibar City lies on the western coast of Unguja island. From above, its historic core, Stone Town, occupies a small peninsula projecting into the Indian Ocean, a maze of narrow winding lanes that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The seafront, with Forodhani Gardens and the old fort, forms a clear edge along the water.
Inland, beyond Creek Road, which follows the line of a former tidal creek, lies Ng'ambo, meaning the other side, where the city has grown much larger in more regular blocks. Zanzibar was a major trading port in the Indian Ocean for centuries, and it is also the birthplace of Freddie Mercury.
A Zanzibar map poster shows the contrast between the tight, irregular streets of Stone Town and the looser pattern of the wider city. The coastline curves around the peninsula, and the harbour and beaches frame the composition.

Creek Road line
This road follows the former creek that once separated Stone Town from the rest of the city, a clear dividing line on the map.
Seafront and harbour
The western shoreline, with gardens, the fort and the harbour, gives the old town a clean edge facing the Indian Ocean.

Why Zanzibar
A map that means something
Zanzibar draws travellers, honeymooners and families with deep roots on the island. A map of Stone Town and its surroundings holds that memory in a quiet, detailed form.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps with a travel date or a family name, and choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand.
