Explore the Traditional Dhow
The history of these traditional dhows dates back many centuries when Arab and Indian merchants began exploring East Africa for trade and religion, relying on the monsoon winds for transport.
On this tour, you will experience this perfect, traditional method of sailing. Today, these dhows are still used by locals to travel and import different commodities between the Zanzibar Islands and the Tanzania mainland.
