A thriving seaside metropolis
“Dar”, as it is casually called, is a thriving seaside metropolis and Tanzania’s commercial hub. Developed out of a sleepy fishing village, today it is East Africa’s second-busiest port along one of the world’s most important oceanic routes. The urban fabric is highly decorative, with Arabic, African, Indian and European architecture lining the streets. The people are as eclectic as the urban fabric and it is a wonder to marvel at the styles of dress, variety of culture and corresponding eateries and experiences. Here, travellers can lose themselves in abundant markets, colourful happenings, and sometimes noisy and jostling crowds.
