From ancient times, Zanzibar has been a trading hotspot, thanks to its location on the trade
route between Arabia and Africa. Traders from Asia had already visited the islands 900 years
before the arrival of its first permanent settlers from the African mainland (around 1000 AD). In
the 8 century, Persian merchants built settlements here, which grew over the next four centuries
into their trading posts. Between the 12th and 15th centuries, trade increased between Arabia,
Persia, and Zanzibar, bringing the archipelago both wealth and power.
During the Age of Exploration, commerce in Zanzibar quickly boomed, largely due to the
rise of the spice trade. At the close of the 15th century, Europeans' craze for spices gave rise to the
Spice Route, a network of sea lanes joining Europe with the Far East, where most spices came
from. In 1498, Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama made the first sea voyage to India, via the
southernmost tip of Africa. In 1499, he arrived at Zanzibar, an archipelago sitting at the crossroads
of the Spice Route The islands soon attracted traders from different lands. Hundreds of ships
sailing the Spice Route docked here, bringing spices and goods for transaction, and Zanzibar
became one of the biggest trading centers in the world. im
