Mombasa is the second largest city and only port in Kenya. The Swahili and Arabic cultures are predominant in Mombasa. Walking through the Old Town, one will come across winding narrow roads, mosques and open air markets. Bright colours, spicy scents and an atmosphere of ancient mystique will enthrall you. Over four hundred years ago, the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and the port of Mombasa used to be a passageway for the Arabian spice trade.

Fort JesusOne of the most internationally re-known features in Mombasa is the Fort Jesus. At the end of the 16th Century, the Portuguese began to construct the famous Fort Jesus, which dominates the entrance of the Mombasa Harbour. The Fort is now a National monument and Museum.

The coastline of Mombasa is split into the South and the North Coasts. From both the South and North coasts, there are further coastal splits, which result in many quaint coastal towns and excellent holiday beaches.
