Archaeological sites The Desert

Al-Manzifat is an ancient city surrounded by a defensive wall. Although only ruins remain, they look good and retain some semblance of vaults decorated with oriental motifs and several two-storey houses with elaborate window openings. These dwellings form the outline of the ancient city of the Zanzibar Moguls. Given the narrowness of some of the narrow streets, leave the car behind and stroll along them, admiring the mud-brick watchtowers at the top of the hills.
