Zanzibar has a rich history as a key trading hub in the Indian Ocean, marked by periods of Persian, Portuguese, Omani, and British influence. It’s known for its spice trade, particularly cloves, and was once a major center for the slave trade. Ultimately, Zanzibar merged with Tanganyika to form Tanzania.
