Dar es Salaam - Old Boma

Old Boma is Dar es Salaam's oldest surviving building; constructed in 1867. Old Boma was built to accommodate the guests of Sultan Seyyid Majid who had a palace located next door. Items to note within Old Boma include a door from Zanzibar and coral walls. Three years after the building was completed, the Sultan Majid died, and the city he had constructed fell into disrepair.
