the doors

Stone Town in Zanzibar is famous for its elaborate doors. Though some have fallen into disrepair due to neglect or weathering, there are many which are still as they were back in the days when Stone Town was a bustling seaport for spice trade over 500 year ago.

Traditionally, these boats were hand built without nails. They dot the slow paced sleepy skyline of Zanzibar. Most of them are still powered completely by wind and sail, so one can still hear the light splashing of sea when sitting on one.
