The Cost of Living in Zanzibar

Shopping Streets

Stone Town offers you a unique and varied shopping trip, Nungwi in Nothern and Paje at Southern are the same. For clothing made by local designers and companies, along with jewellery, spices, and even music by local artists, look into the boutiques along Gizenga Street and Kenyatta Road. For both fine jewellery made of gold and silver, and local artisan work such as beaded pieces, Soko Muhogo Square is an alternative to Gizenga Street.

Groceries and Other

Quality Supermarket and Migos Supermarket are both located in Zanzibar City. You can buy produce, basic groceries, and just about anything else at the Darajani Markets, a bazaar located in Stone Town near the Anglican Church. One quart of milk costs about TZS5,000 and a dozen eggs costs about TZS 9,000
