Views of Stone Town's waterfront at sunset, including the renowned Night Food Market at Forodhani Park and the beach restaurant/bar where we returned each evening to watch World Cup soccer!

Every night at Forodhani Gardens at Stone Town's waterfront is a busy street food market. There local vendors sell souvenirs and a wide variety of street food, ranging from grilled meats and seafood to a local type of Zanzibari pizza. The quality and hygiene of the food is highly questionable, and there's a lot of hustle going on. But the market is a fun experience and popular destination among tourists and locals alike. Visitors walk the waterfront while watching the sunset over the Indian Ocean while sampling (or not) the grilled delicacies and taking in the colorful environment.
Forodhani Gardens is a park located inside Zanzibar’s historic Stone Town, along the main promenade by the waterfront. The gardens were first laid out in 1936 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Sultan Khalifa and were called Jubilee Gardens until the 1964 Revolution.

The seawall by Forodhani Gardens is the best place in Stone Town to take sunset photos.
One of the nightly events at Forodhani Gardens, is to take a seat at the seawall, while watching local boys jumping off into the turquoise waters with the last rays of the sun.
Dhows are traditional wooden-hulled Arabian boats, based on a shipbuilding tradition that has its origin in the coastal ports of the Sultanate of Oman. Photo by Jennifer.
