Zanzibar's coolest, driest months run from June to October, when the kusi wind blows from the south-east, a period that shapes when travel around the island is most comfortable. Taarab music, with orchestras and sung poetry, originated on the Swahili coast and remains popular on both islands.
Cloves are grown on both islands, and Pemba produces much of Tanzania's clove crop. Zanzibar was the seat of the Omani sultanate and a dhow-trade hub, then united with Tanganyika in 1964 to form Tanzania.
