Discovering Spice Island - Zanzibar
In 1698, Zanzibar fell under the control of The Sultanate of Oman, which developed an economy of trade and cash crops with the ruling Arab elite. Plantations were developed and are actively still producing cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper.For this reason, the Islands, together with the export of raffia are widely known as the Spice Islands.
