For the legendary princess who loves to leave, and the Palace Museum of Tanzania h
The Palace Museum on the road to Mirjan Road in Zanzibar Island, I heard that there was a legendary princess who left for love. With curiosity, I started this tour.
Palace History h
The Palace Museum was built in the Oman Empire. It was the kings bed in the past. After the Zanzibar Revolutionary Movement in 1964, it became the Oman Empire. The museum of the period history.
The princess who loves to leave is Princess Sami. Her story is very dramatic - born in 1844, the daughter of Zanzibar's first generation of Sultan Oman of Oman. In 1865, Princess Sami fell in love with German businessman Rudolf, and even broke the Islam ban, and she had no choice but to go to the British governor at that time. She fled to Athens and was baptized there. Then Princess Sami also officially converted to Christianity and married her loved Rudolph.
Palace layout
Although it is a royal palace here, in terms of scale and grandeur, there is no way to compare it with the Forbidden City. The museum has three floors. The first floor mainly displays some historical relics during the dynasty, including the personal belongings of the legendary Sami Princess.
The third floor of the museum is the palace of the king and the queen. The home style here has more or less the shadow of trade, showing a unique diversity.
You can also see the striking bell tower of the Miracle Palace on the second floor of the museum. The Miracle Palace is one of the largest buildings in Zanzibar Island, and it was also the palace of King Bachash.
Nearby attractions h
is not far from the Palace Museum is a famous fruit and seafood market, Zanzibar's seafood is very famous, you can buy the freshest here and The cheaper seafood, every time the fishermen harvested and returned, they will start a lively auction meeting here. This time I felt the fishermens buying and selling sounds. The seascape facing the
Palace Museum is also amazing, it really is the sea view that the royal family could have!
When I first came to the island, the sea in the Indian Ocean could be different every hour. The delicate white sand beach could occasionally find a few lovely sea stars, saying that the island is a Maldives in Africa. It is no exaggeration, we are thinking about taking the island as a short stay in Africa.
People on Zanzibar Island, they were not allowed to take pictures at first, and they were familiar with each other. They were self-flying flower stars, even Muslim mothers joined the camp, smiling and friendly and open to the world. The second trick of the Governor.
"When you stare at the sea, until the dolphins are out of the sky, you will know that there is no more exciting scene in this world!!!"
just stayed in Zanzibar Island On the first night of the chalet, the pilot landlord shared with us a wonderful experience in this vast Indian Ocean - sunrise chasing dolphins. We came to the beach early the next day and chased the dolphins with the boatman.
With a sleepy drowsiness, they set foot on the small yacht floating on the Indian Ocean, heading in the direction of the sunrise. The sky slowly reveals the white belly, but the sea is calm as usual, we wait patiently for the emergence of dolphins. In less than a minute, the captain of another cruise ship rushed forward and found the figure of the dolphins in front. We followed it and heard the captain amazed: it was there! I quickly searched the sea and didn't see it. The captain said that the dolphins were too fast and swam into the sea in a few seconds.
The captains words have just been finished, and others have discovered the dolphins. This time I fired again quickly, just below the five-meter position on my right. The three beautiful horns crossed the sea and disappeared into the sea. The most beautiful second was caught by me, and all the people cheered for this vast ocean and the most gentle creatures.
Sunshine and Beaches of Africa.
The first stop of this trip to Africa was Zanzibar. I booked the flight on Trip.com, flying from Hong Kong to Zanzibar for a unique African experience.
When people think of Africa, they often imagine a dry land. However, in Tanzania, there's a place called Zanzibar where the sunshine and beaches are breathtaking.
1. Hotel
I chose to stay at Emerald Zanzibar FB. The hotel is located right on the beach, and the cost includes three meals a day. You can choose between a buffet or other specialty restaurants within the hotel. All drinks in any of the hotel's restaurants are free all day, and you can eat as much ice cream as you want for free. It's fantastic.
2. Entertainment Activities
The hotel offers movies, cultural activities, indoor and outdoor infinity pools, beach access, fitness, yoga, and more, all for free. You can also arrange boat trips for diving and dolphin watching, but these activities are at an additional cost.
Tanzania tourism ✈️
🐘In Tanzania, besides what we are familiar with, you can also go off-road and track the great animal migration.
🐠You can also "let yourself go" on the most beautiful island in the Indian Ocean.
💎Zanzibar is known as the "pearl" and "emerald" of the Indian Ocean.
🍃People who have been to Zanzibar say "If you haven't been to Maldives or Bali yet, you haven't seen paradise."
🍃So, I suggest you not to come to Sanguibar Island first. The starting point of the sea view is too high, which will ruin your good impression of all the islands from then on.
·
The Rock Restaurant
Dream restaurant on the rocks.
·
This restaurant is somewhat lonely, located on the coastline of the Indian Ocean, but that's also why it attracts tourists from all over the world ❤️.
·
🌊During ebb tide, take a leisurely stroll from the beach to here; during flood tide, boats are available to transport guests. All 12 tables in the restaurant offer fantastic views of the Indian Ocean.
·
The Manta Resort
Glass house floating on the sea surface.
·
Can you really fall asleep living here? If it were me, I would keep my eyes open and watch for a whole day and night! Various sea creatures swim by in front of your eyes. If you can't dive but want to explore the underwater world, this is definitely the best choice!
Beach in Zanzibar
Turquoise sea, milky beach.

Zanzibar is made up of more than 20 small islands. It was originally an independent country in Africa. It joined Tanzania in 1964, in the western part of the Indian Ocean, in the southwest of Brazil. The island is famous for producing cloves, accounting for the world's clove sales. The 4/5, known as the "world's most fragrant land" and "Xiangdao", is a famous tourist destination in Africa. The people of
Zanzibar are very different from other parts of Tanzania. The Swahili people account for more than 3/4, and the rest are Arabs, Indians, Pakistanis and so on.
After an hour or two around Stone Town, the historical sites of two thousand years can be seen. The ship sailed along the coastline to the northernmost end. The engine stalled, the sails were raised, and the ships floated in the sea. We sat on the deck and watched the sunset quietly. The sunset reflected the redness of the sea, sparkling, and as the sun set, The shadow of the sunset casts a long strip of light on the surface of the sea. In fact, the actual feeling at this time is more beautiful and richer than that recorded by the camera.
Zanzibar Island, one of the most beautiful islands in Africa, is comparable to the Maldives. Zanzibar Island's incredible beauty, a few kilometers wide white beach dazzling people can't open their eyes, make your camera appear a white screen, difficult to focus, it is difficult to catch the lens, this is the mirror of nature, the sky
The color of the sea is always changing, and the time is different. The most beautiful time is in the evening, and the golden soft light is the best time to photograph.
The small forests and isolated trees on the island of Zanzibar indicate that most of the ground was originally covered by dense evergreen forests. Extensive coral rock outcrops grow dense vegetation, and flat clay plains grow grass.
On many land, ancient baobab trees are still growing. The baobab tree in Tanzania is not as beautiful as Madagascar. The trunk is thick, the old backbone is empty, and the branches grow wildly without direction. I knocked the picked baobabs hard and tasted the same as Madagascar. Its sour!
In the 7-day time on Zanzibar Island in Tanzania, staying at the traditional Swahili wooden house on the side of the beach in Matemwe, utupoa, the landlord Tim was a Middle Eastern pilot, bidding farewell to his career and bringing his wife to the Indian Ocean. Happiness wooden house, thin and tall body has a strong power, the whole house is his personal participation, watching the house grow up and perfect a little, like a child raised by hands.
In utupoa's leisure time, in addition to listening to Tim telling stories, Tim also told us about the fun places nearby, and he also told me mysteriously, five minutes from the room in the morning, vaguely able to see a naked The beach, the tide ebbs, the tide is not, it is like a wayward island.
In order to board this mirage-like fairyland, I specially got up early to explore on the second day. I didn't expect to walk into the sea for more than ten meters. The seawater had not passed the waist and had to return, using drones. Instead of the eyes, look at the sea. When the drone flies over the beach, it is amazing by this beach. The white bare beach, which is less than ten meters away, is surrounded by the crystal clear blue sea. Only the secret people who can use it can climb the secret base.
I am watching the sunset here, there will be another person, watching the sunrise from the other side, connecting us is the only light in the world. At the moment I am on Zanzibar Island, saying that Zanzibar Island consists of two main islands, Unguja and Pemba, and Zanzibar City is on Anguja Island. Zanzibar mainly refers to Zanzibar City. Zanzibar is one of the most beautiful islands in the world, and it is set in the serene waters of the Indian Ocean like a gem.
