House of Wonders: Zanzibar’s Iconic Clock Tower & Old History

Don't expect a pristine museum; this former palace is more about seeing the grand Omani architecture and the massive, creaky clock tower up close. It sits right in the center of Stone Town, making it an easy stop during any walking tour. Spend about 45 minutes here, but prioritize a guide who can explain the structural decay since restoration is ongoing. Catch the sunset from the balcony if it’s open—it beats the crowded beach bars nearby.
