» Please remember and respect that Zanzibar
is a Muslim society. Don't walk around
Stone Town or other towns and villages
dressed in bikinis, miniskirts or similar clothing.
Women should cover their shoulders
and wear trousers or skirts that reach below
the knee. Men should not go shirtless.
Don’t go topless on the beaches! Bikinis
and swimwear are acceptable on tourist
beaches, but not if there are fisherman or
seaweed harvesters nearby.
»Although alcohol is freely available, drunken
behaviour is considered offensive.
»Ask permission before taking pictures of
people or private houses.
»Be careful walking on beaches late at night
or early in the morning, don’t carry valuables
or walk alone.
»Don't accept tours or transport from unlicensed
'beach boys' in Shangani Street
– their services are illegal and unreliable.
Only use reputable tour agencies or official
government guides.
»Enjoy your time in Tanzania! |
