Unguja is the biggest island within the Zanzibar archipelago. It houses the seat of the government and boosts of having a live history of Zanzibar vividly seen along the narrow streets of the Stone town. Because of its rich history, its importance as it harbours the capital of Zanzibar, its collection of crystalline sandy beaches, its close proximity to the mainland of Tanzania, and perhaps its easier accessibility by both sea and air, Unguja attracts thousands of visitors every year.
