Catering to Muslim tourists, the third largest global traveling spenders, is the unique Islam oriented atmosphere of Zanzibar. The largely Muslim populated archipelago offers much more than turquoise blue waters, tranquil reefs and shallow sandbars.  The entire visit is possible in a halal tourism atmosphere where everything from the streets, to food, to locals is all accustomed to an Islam oriented environment.

Halal tourism is the essence of Stone Town in Tanzania, which has been declared a cultural heritage site by UNESCO. Its heritage value is derived out of its dominant position in the era of slavery, besides its unique cultural value derived from diverse influences taken from the Persian, Arab, British and Indian cultures. Today this cultural amalgamation presents the Swahili culture, which interests numerous tourists and attracts them to visit the historical Tanzanian city.

Besides a few dedicated places, you will not find people dressed in skimpy clothes, or any non permissible non Islamic food, in Zanzibar. Tanzania with its former influence of Oman, practices Islam as its culture, which is evident in every walk of life. 

Tanzania is a country that offers much more than generally expected off it. Tanzania boasts several islands that are enriched with natural beauty to the extent that even the busiest of the country’s ports offer sheltered lagoons and bays, pristine semi arid forests and lush mangrove forests making the country an attractive location to visit.

Specifically, Zanzibar is an exceptional tourist location, enjoying high value not only in terms of natural beauty, but also owed to its unique cultural heritage, which boasts historical buildings, culinary and food practices, festivals, handicrafts, ruins, markets, etc. To top it all off, the dominant Muslim culture of Zanzibar offers it as one of the best halal tourism destinations in the world.

People often visit Zanzibar to see its stone architecture, historical buildings such as Beit-ul-Ajaib, Anglican Cathedral, Old Fort, The Hamamni, etc. Darajani market is another worth visiting place.

Other Tanzanian attractions and sites to visit include Prison Island, which is rich in natural beauty with flower and fauna both offering attractive sites for visitors. See the giant land tortoises live in their natural surrounding on Prison Island and enjoy the calm and soothing feel of the island, in a safe and secure halal atmosphere.

If all of this is starting to make you feel like Tanzania or Zanzibar is a place for the nature lover, think again! No vacation by the ocean can ever be complete without a good resort that offers the option of a private beach. Here again, visitors can find world-class resorts that offer private beach facilities, ensuring that a proper Halal atmosphere is provided. Here you can enjoy with your family, without any worry of anyone else interrupting you.

Tanzania is a must visit for food lovers, especially if you seek Halal food, as the vast mix of cultures has offered a unique taste and blend of spic to Tanzanian foods, hard to find anywhere else. You will also not be able to resist once you are in Tanzania, as the aroma of the special spices is mixed in the air and the minute you set foot on land, you instantly fall in love with it.

One huge problem visiting non-halal destinations is the inability to try out their cuisine, as they may contain non permissible ingredients in them, thus deeming them non-eatable for Muslims. Further on many families are never confident in trying out several activities, including foods on destinations that do not offer halal tourism opportunities. This, however, is not the case in Tanzania.

Being an Islamic dominant country, it already practices Muslim traditions in every walk of life, thus on a collective scale, no extra efforts are required to offer the same to new visitors. However, this does not mean that Tanzania does not welcome its visitors.

There are several world-class hotels, resorts, restaurants, spas and locations that can offer an epic experience to tourists from anywhere in the world. If you do not practice Muslim traditions, worry not, as you are free to practice your culture in the way you like; however, in the vicinity of your own privacy. Since dressing code and behavior in Tanzania strictly relates to Islamic teachings, visitors too will have to conform to them. This is one aspect which makes Halal Tourism a natural aspect of visiting Tanzania.

Tanzania as a country has supported growth of world class hotel, restaurants, spas and other utilities that tourists expect on international locations, and all these efforts are directed towards promoting halal tourism, which has duly been appreciated again and again by visitors.
