Jafferji House has been lovingly restored and decorated as a living museum dedicated to both ancient and modern master art pieces. From the moment you enter, an intimate reception adorned with brass antiques, beautiful artwork, and historic photographs offers a warm welcome. Throughout the hotel, original carpets and handwoven rugs from Pakistan and Afghanistan line the floors, while rare artifacts, including exquisite necklaces from Oman, decorate the public areas and suites. Similar to those once worn by Princess Salme of Zanzibar, these treasured pieces come from the Jafferji family’s private collection, first gathered over a century ago. Guests will also notice bright ceramic plates dating back hundreds of years, brought to Zanzibar by traders from Portugal, Holland, China, and Japan. The intricate wooden balcony, hand-crafted from special teak wood imported from India, remains an original feature of the house. Guests are encouraged to enquire at the reception desk for a guided tour, where staff will gladly share the stories behind these remarkable collections.
