Mombasa Town Tour

Mombasa Town Tour On our Mombasa Town Tour, you will enjoy the colorful island town with a perfect blend of ancient and modern architecture. This beautiful city on the Indian Ocean is Kenya’s principal port and the country’s second largest city. A comprehensive tour of the charming island includes a visit to the old Arab town, with its maze of narrow twisting alleys displaying the beautifully curved doors and verandas, antique shops, the Dhow harbor, and a gorgeous Hindu temple. We’ll also go to the Akamba wood carvers and drive to the local bazaar for a short shopping expedition. The highlight of the tour will be the visit to a World Heritage Site, Fort Jesus, an intriguing example of Renaissance military architecture. This amazing landmark was built in 1593 by the Portuguese to guard the entrance to the old Dhow harbor. Four hundred years old, the port still stands and serves as a historical museum.
