About
Surti and Sons - Leather Sandals serves Zanzibar from House no 133, Kenyatta Road, Gizenga St, Zanzibar, Tanzania. The shop operates as a gift shop specialising in leather sandals, and its website at https://surtiandsons.wordpress.com/ carries further details. A score of 4.4 out of 5 has been earned from 43 reviews.
Reaching the shop from the main resorts and towns is manageable, as Kenyatta Road runs through the Stone Town area and the island's transport links connect the principal centres. Stone Town lies close at hand, with Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe among the other places on the island.
The shop sits on Kenyatta Road in the Gizenga St area, placing it within the historic quarter of Stone Town. Its trade centres on handmade leather sandals, a craft associated with the coastal Swahili world.
Swahili coastal cooking is built on rice, coconut milk, seafood and spices such as clove and cinnamon. The long rains, masika, fall from March to May, and the short rains, vuli, in November and December. Kiswahili is the main language of both islands, with English widely used in tourism and Arabic loanwords in everyday speech.
