CITY TOUR

The second most important city of the
country, Mombasa is the largest and most popular island
on the Kenya coast. This old but vibrant gateway to
Kenya is a mystical mixture of ancient and modern, with
a cosmopolitan population blending Africa, Arabia and
Asia. But not everyone realizes that this picturesque
port is an island with two deep water harbors. Evocative
of the east, graceful sailing dhows unchanged throughout
the centuries, arrive on the monsoon winds, while ocean
liners berth just around the headland. Fringing the
dhow harbor is the Old Town, dominated by the ancient
Portuguese Fort Jesus, a maze of narrows streets overshadowed
by high ornamental balconies of quaint shuttered houses
and vibrant open bazaars.
