If you are traveling to Zanzibar during Ramadan here are some helpful tips for your stay:
1. It is not allowed to eat, drink, or smoke in public during Ramadan. As it is considered very impolite while so many people are fasting.
2. Leisure tourism activities continue operating as normal, but no parties or loud music allowed, while some local restaurants and cafes might be closed during day time, you can still find food around, mostly in restaurants that are part of hotels, and in some that are not they will be blocked off with curtains and continue to serve inside.
3. Modest dress code is applicable at all times when in public and not only during Ramadan. While locals do not expect visitors to wear the same way as they do, it is therefore important to consider wearing non reavealing outfits covering shoulders to knees for both men and women, this also reflects as a sign of respect.
But The dress code is not just during ramadan but something to take note all year round whenever you visit Zanzibar in areas where local people live.
4. Public displays of affection should be kept to a minimum at all times. Holding hands is acceptable, but nothing more unless you are somewhere more private or secluded.
Beyond these rules, Zanzibar is very much open for business during Ramadan. You can therefore still enjoy enjoy your trip, but being respectful of the local culture is a great way to immerse yourself with the destination.
