Mombasa City Tour
- ATW 011X
The colorful island town of Mombasa with its blend of ancient and modern
buildings on the Indian Ocean is Kenya principal port and the country's
second's largest city. A comprehensive tour of the islands includes the
Arab Old Town, with its maze of narrow twisting alleys displaying the
beautiful carved doors and Arab verandas, bazaars with curio and antique
shops, the Dhow Harbor (still in use), a Hindu temple, a visit to the
Akamba wood carvers and a drive to the bazaar fir a short shopping expedition.
The highlight of the tour is probably the visit to Fort Jesus. Built in
1593 by the Portuguese to guard the entrance to the Old Dhow Harbor, it
is the Island's Landmark. Four hundred years old, the fort still stands
and serves as a historical museum.
