Destination informationDestination information

The true heart of Mombasa is found in the exotic Old Town, among the narrow winding streets and Arab architecture where the air is heavy with the scent of spices. Women wearing the traditional buibui fill the narrow streets and busy markets. The streets are alive with the bright colours of the traditional coastal khanga and kikoy.

At the water's edge is Fort Jesus, an imposing fort that stands watch over the harbour. The high gun turrets, battlements and underground passages of this 16th-century fort were the centre of a historic struggle for control of the Kenya coast between the Portuguese army and the Shirazi Arabs.

Mombasa is the gateway to the beach resorts of the North and South Coast, Malindi, Watamu and Lamu.
