विवरण
Discover the art of Zanzibar’s iconic doors in a hands-on carving session. Learn Swahili symbols, carve your own wooden tile, and connect with centuries of island craftsmanship
Step into the artistic heart of Zanzibar with this immersive, hands-on door-carving workshop led by skilled local artisans. Over 3 inspiring hours, discover the centuries-old craftsmanship behind the island’s iconic carved doors—symbols of culture, identity, and storytelling.
Begin with an introduction to the history and hidden meanings behind traditional Swahili, Arab, and Indian door designs: from lotus flowers representing purity to chains symbolizing protection.
