The more populated ofthe two main islands, Unguja, is better known as Zanzibar Island andis home to Stone Town (also known as Zanzibar Town or Zanzibar City),an historic, bustling city of narrow alleyways and stone coralbuildings. In addition to the two main islands, there are many otherislands and islets in the Zanzibar archipelago which stretches fromthe top of Pemba to the south point of Unguja.Unguja isin the Indian Ocean about 40 km east of Bagamoyo on the Tanzanianmainland. The slightly hilly island itself is about 85 km long andbetween 20 – 30 km wide at its widest points. Most of thepopulation lives in the more fertile regions of the north and west. The eastern part of the island is arid and covered in coral rag (rockmade of coral)makingit unattractive for farming, but the beaches and the reefs on theeastern coasts make them ideal for fishing villages, touristguesthouses, and resorts.Pemba,located about 50 Kms north of Unguja, is far less populated. Knownalso by its Arabic name, Al Khundra meaning Green Island, Pemba iscovered in steep hills full of palms, clove and rubber trees, ricepaddies and the Ngezi Forest in the north. There are many pure,beautiful beaches in and around the numerous inlets and coves. Tourism is not as developed on Pemba as it is on Unguja but resortsare being built and the infrastructure will undoubtedly improve astourism increases.PeopleThe peopleof Zanzibar are predominantly Muslim, about 95% of the populationbeing followers of Islam. The remaining percentage is a mix ofChristians, Hindus and followers of various other religions. Swahiliis the official and national language of Tanzania but English is alsospoken in Zanzibar, and a percentage of the population also has aworking knowledge of Arabic. The population consists of people fromthe following ancestries: African, Persian, Omani (and other Arabstates), and Asian. The local economy is based on agriculture andfishing. The population of the archipelago is estimated at over740,000 while the population of Unguja is estimated at almost450,000, forty per cent of which live in Stone Town. The literacyrate in Zanzibar is very high.ClimateZanzibaris a few degrees south of t
