Antique shops Tanzania

This micro-boutique located just in front of the Princess Salme Museum, run by a very nice Zanzibarite, contains small antique treasures. We like to chat with the owner who does not inflate his prices and will tell you honestly if the piece is an antique or a recent object. He offers, among other things, beautiful old telephones from the British era (at very reasonable prices), a whole bunch of bric-a-brac that piles up densely... As with all the antique shops on the island, you have to rummage around! You feel "at home".

Murtaza is a true collector. In his Ali Baba's cave, you'll find an original bric-a-brac of antique objects from all over Africa piled up to the ceiling, but also from India, Oman and small curios. It's worth taking the time to chat and negotiate with him, as he's very friendly, but only after you've dug and dug tirelessly, as the place is so dense with heterogeneous objects. One of the oldest stores in Stone Town, where prices are still reasonable. Take your time to find that rare gem.
