Courtesy in Zanzibar
Zanzibar is largely a Muslim community. Although they are used to Western ways, you should try to be respectful. This means:
Women and men should make an effort to cover their legs and arms.
It is regarded as disrepectful to show public affection.
Be discreet when drinking alcohol.
During Ramadan -- the month of fasting -- travelers should avoid eating and drinking publicly during the daytime. Also, be sure not to smoke in front of people, nor chew gum, and it is polite to avoid talking about the nice lunch you had.
