Begin your journey at the iconic Fort Jesus, a 16th-century Portuguese fort and UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcasing centuries of coastal history and cultural influences. From there, step into Old Town, with its narrow, winding streets, Swahili architecture, and intricately carved doors that reflect Arab, Asian, and European heritage. Wander through curio shops and traditional Swahili houses, soaking in the timeless atmosphere. Continue to the bustling Spice Market, where the scents of cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom fill the air. This vibrant market highlights Mombasa’s legacy as a trading hub and is the perfect place to shop for local spices, teas, and handmade crafts. Next, stop by the Mombasa Tusks along Moi Avenue.
