Darajani Bazaar

Nice place to visit, there is so many wonder about the people there and things, only place where you can see some rarely spices which only available in Zanzibar, kindness and hospitality of the people of Zanzibar.. You can experience so much and enjoying your trip when you go to Darajani Bazaar...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Darajani Bazaar is the beating heart of Stone Town – a labyrinth of spices, tropical fruits, fresh fish straight from the ocean, and the everyday hustle that makes Zanzibar so alive. Here you don’t just shop – you experience the island’s true spirit through its colors, scents, and people’s stories. A must-visit for anyone who wants to feel the real Zanzibar!”

Smells ruddy awful in the heat, flies everywhere. The fisherman sit or stand amongst their fish which may be perfectly reasonable behaviour here, I don't know. But it looks disgusting. On the opposite side is the spice market, every stall sells the same. They hassle you so much. It's extremely busy. Watch your pockets, bags and children - I would recommend wrist straps for them actually. Even with our local guide it was horrid.

I don't get the stone town hype, glad I didn't pay for a tour of sorts, have my own car (parking secure is 2000 Shillings) And why do people think this 'bazaar' is so cool? Unless you -like the locals- shop for meat fish veggies at the market, not sure it's worth a trip Most tourist products esp the spice bags are mass market, not fresh and looks like they're bumped up with fillers Other tourist shops stick out like a sore thumb and selling typical souvenirs that gather dust at home

A great place to visit, very cheap products.

One of the city green markets in Stone Town, Zanzibar. You can buy great fruits here, and other stuff you might or might not need. Like other places in Stone Town, you ought to be mindful of the prices, as bargaining is a way of life here. Itbis useful to learn a few Kuswahili words, you might save yourself a lot of Shilingi... Recommendation: red bananas!

Local food, spice and general market area. Expect to be accosted steadily as you attempt to enjoy yourself. The market is great, the attention - not so much.

The local market is interesting, but there are strong smells in the meat and fish area.
