Stormshadow, Thank you very much for the time and work you ´ve invested to show us all those photos. :applause: :applause: Great photos of a nice country only few people talk about.....


By the way, Do you know the name of those two towers which are u/c in Dar es Salaam?

 

[StormShadow]

You're welcome Matt. Indeed, a nice country.

I have little information about new or old structures in Dar es Salaam. I'm sure those buildings have been completed already, since that photo set I posted was originally from 2005. I would think it's the "NIC Pension Plaza II" but I could be very wrong.

That picture in Dar es Salaam with the old colonial building with the 'Alitalia' sign, I got a nice story about it. A year and a half I went to that travel agency, because that's where I could withdrawl cash from my MasterCard. I was in need of money, so I cashed US$1300,- in order to spend it on Zanzibar. Somehow they never charged my creditcard, which made me believe I basically got a wonderfull holiday on Zanzibar for free. At least until last december, when suddenly EUR1000,- was charged from my CC. Despite the dissapointment that after all I didn't got that vacation for free, they gave me almost two years to pay for it, and save up to EUR200,- due to currency differences made in thos two years.

So whenever you want to go on a holiday now, and expect to have the money for it within two years, make sure you get your cash at that travel agent!

[kulani]

those two towers look lovely and make Dar es Salaam looks beautiful! The light house is also lovely.

 

[You are to blame]

What's this tower being built? Is it for air traffic control.

 

[Xusein]

Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar are both great looking

I'd like to visit Zanzibar one day. That city and Somalia have a long history, and a lot of the housing styles and way of life is similar to Somalia. Zanzibar and Mogadishu were both powerful city states back in the day.

What's this tower being built? Is it for air traffic control.

No! quite the opposite. Its for maritime traffic control to monitor the Dar es salaam shipping routes. A simmilar one is slated for the neighbouring Mombasa port in Kenya.
