Half day Old Town Mombasa Tour Fort Jesus.

The tour will begin with a pick up from your Hotel at 08:00am and proceed to old town Mombasa. Our local guide will take you deep down to the history of Mombasa Island. Fort Jesus is perhaps the most popular attraction in the Old Town. Constructed and designed by Italian Giovanni Battista and was built between 1593 and 1596 by the order of king Philip of Portugal to guard the old port of Mombasa. Fort Jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fort Jesus is a fine display of 16th-century Portuguese military architecture. Enjoy the exhibition of the wide collection of ceramics and pottery reflecting the various cultures that traded along the coast. Within the compound are many fascinating battlements and derelict buildings including the Omani house, a building with Omani jewelry and displays of Swahili life. After a Tour of Fort Jesus, you will head for a lunch to enjoy different Swahili cuisines within the old town. Late afternoon, you will be dropped at your Hotel.
