Kenya's Oldest City

Mombasa has been a working port for well over a thousand years: a Swahili trading town on the monsoon routes, exchanging ivory, spices and cloth with Arabia, Persia, India and China. Every arrival left something behind in the architecture, the language, and above all in the food. The city still runs on the rhythm of the harbour.
