We spent the day touring the other sites of Stone Town. Whilst it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (like Edinburgh’s Old Town) the attractions and indeed most buildings had suffered over the years from neglect. Many places such as the Forodhani Gardens and the Cultural Centre were undergoing renovation. We still managed to visit the Persian Baths (sadly without the water), the Omani fort and the House of Wonders (one of the largest buildings in town and one designed by a Scottish marine architect) which contains a museum.
