Kizimkazi Mosque
The Kizimkazi Mosque is a mosque situated on the southern tip of the island of Zanzibar in Tanzania and is one of the oldest Islamic buildings on the East African coast. Despite its name, it is located in Dimbani, not Kizimkazi, which is three miles away (this is because the official names of these two joined villages are Kizimkazi Dimbani and Kizimkazi Mtendeni). According to a preserved kufic inscription, it was built in 1107 by settlers from Shiraz.
Kizimkazi
Kizimkazi - officially Kizimkazi Mkunguni, but also known as Kizimkazi Mtendeni - is a fishing village on the southern coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania, and was once a walled city. It is situated three miles southeast of the Kizimkazi Mosque (which is located in Kizimkazi Dimbani, commonly known just as Dimbani). In recent years, Kizimkazi has become a major tourist attraction, as daily boat tours are organized to bring visitors off shore to watch bottlenose dolphins and swim with them.
Dimbani
Dimbani - officially Kizimkazi Dimbani - is a village on the Tanzanian island of Unguja, part of Zanzibar. It is one of a pair of villages located close to the southern tip of the west coast, the other being Kizimkazi Mtendeni (commonly known simply as Kizimkazi). Dimbani's most notable feature is Kizimkazi Mosque, one of the oldest Islamic structures in East Africa.
