is a series of caves carved
into the side of a hill looking out over the steppe. The site has a

elongated people, animals, and hunting scenes. Today many of
the shelters are still considered to have ritual associations with
the people who live nearby, reflecting their beliefs, rituals and
cosmological traditions

Stone Town, Zanzibar
Stone Town
is the old part of the beautiful Island of
Zanzibar. Justification for the inscription, includes its rich
cultural fusion and harmonization; its great symbolic importance in the
suppression of slavery; and the intense seaborne trading
activity between Asia and Africa, which is illustrated today in the
exceptional architecture and urban structure of the Stone Town.

Ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and Ruins of Songo Mnara
From the 13th to the 16th century, the merchants of Kilwa
dealt in gold, silver, pearls, perfumes, Arabian crockery, Persian
earthenware and Chinese porcelain; much of the trade in the Indian Ocean

include the Great Mosque, the Mkutini Palace and some remarkable
ruins.
