Zanzibar (/ˈzænzɪbɑːr/; Swahili: Zanzibar; Arabic: زنجبار‎, translit. Zanjibār) is a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania. It is composed of the Zanzibar Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 25–50 kilometres (16–31 mi) off the coast of the mainland, and consists of many small islands and two large ones: Unguja (the main island, referred to informally as Zanzibar) and Pemba Island. The capital is Zanzibar City, located on the island of Unguja. Its historic centre is Stone Town, which is a World Heritage Site.

Zanzibar's main industries are spices, raffia, and tourism.^[5] In particular, the islands produce cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper. For this reason, the Zanzibar Archipelago, together with Tanzania's Mafia Island, are sometimes called the "Spice Islands" (a term also associated with the Maluku Islands of Indonesia).

Zanzibar is the home of the endemic Zanzibar red colobus, the Zanzibar servaline genet, and the (possibly extinct) Zanzibar leopard.

Zanzibar is one of the Indian Ocean islands. It is situated on the Swahili Coast, adjacent to Tanganyika (mainland Tanzania).

The northern tip of Unguja island is located at 5.72 degrees south, 39.30 degrees east, with the southernmost point at 6.48 degrees south, 39.51 degrees east.^[59] The island is separated from the Tanzanian mainland by a channel, which at its narrowest point is 36.5 kilometres (22.7 mi) across.^[60] The island is about 85 kilometres (53 mi) long and 39 kilometres (24 mi) wide,^[60] with an area of 1,464 km² (565 sq mi).^[61] Unguja is mainly low lying, with its highest point being 120 metres (390 ft).^[61]Unguja is characterised by beautiful sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs.^[61] The reefs are rich in marine biodiversity.^[62]

The northern tip of Pemba island is located at 4.87 degrees south, 39.68 degrees east, and the southernmost point is located at 5.47 degrees south, 39.72 degrees east.^[59] The island is separated from the Tanzanian mainland by a channel some 56 kilometres (35 mi) wide.^[60] The island is about 67 kilometres (42 mi) long and 23 kilometres (14 mi) wide, with an area of 985 km² (380 sq mi).^[60] Pemba is also mainly low lying, with its highest point being 95 metres (312 ft).^[63]
