The new Capital

by SirRichard - last update: Jan 28, 2003

a view of Dar

A rather impersonal city

I know Dar just from a short stay, in the way to Zanzibar from the Parks. In fact, we spent the night there because we missed the last ferry to the island...
The main activity in this spread and not extremely interesting city is at the evenings by the harbour. There you can see people walking around, street stalls... and the little activity U'll find here!

Dar's location

Dar is located at the coast, just in front of Zanzibar Island.

 We also spent only one night and half a day in Dar, returning from Zanzibar before our flight back home.
