On Zanzibar one experiences a coloured national mixture of Africans, Indians, Persians and Arabs. More than 90 percent of the population belong to Islam. This combination creates a cultural variety which even so disposes of a common intersection: the religion. Especially the architecture of the historical Old Town ‘Stone Town’ still reflects till this day the synthesis of Arabian, Indian and African influences. It is multicultural, just like the inhabitants. Mosques, churches and Hindu temples, African markets, colonial constructions and sultan's palaces, all this is a mark of the Zanzibari culture. In narrow lanes splendid houses with big, artfully carved wooden doors line up themselves. Stone Town was declared a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2000. The Zanzibari are hospitable, open-minded and warm-hearted. The art and music scene of the island also profits from this cosmopolitanism. Different music, cultural and film festivals regularly take place on Zanzibar. "Sauti Za Busara Swahili Music and Cultural Festival" presents East African music amidst the street labyrinth of Stone Town. Traditional dances and art can be admired till the small hours.
