Due to its proximity to the Equator, Zanzibar is warm throughout the year and follows the perfect 12 hours a day and 12 hours night rule.
-
It is also known as Spice Island, growing cloves, cinnamon, black pepper and nutmeg.
-
The shortest war ever recorded is the Anglo-Zanzibar War where the British bombarded the Beit al Hukum Palace and after 38 minutes, a ceasefire was called.
