These baths were built in 1850 by Sultan Said, for his
wife Sherehezade. It is in conflict with Muslim faith
with portrayals of birds and flowers on the walls.
Muslims consider it sacrilege to create any images of
any living thing. Persian craftsmen brought specially
to Zanzibar built it. The baths were used by
Sherehezade to refresh herself after a long journey,
or day of hunting. A guide is present and a fee must
be paid to gain entrance.
