Historical Site Visit

It is incredible opportunity to visit the ancient stone–town of Kaole that was founded in the 13th century, and flourished during the 14th and 15th centuries. The town was built by coral stones and mangroves. In 1937 Norman Forster described Kaole Ruins as a holy island of Islam that was devoted to Muslim burial. Many ruins with spiritual believe have remained today, and attract a number of tourists to visit the site. The famous and fascinating ruins at Kaole include the 13th century mosque which is among of the earliest mosques in East Africa; the holy water well close to the early mosque which attracts visitors for spiritual cleansing; the 13th century graveyard which contain the finest pillared tombs in East Africa, the famed lovers’ grave, and the magical Sharifat grave.
