Palm-leaf weaving — baskets, mats, hats and similar household items — is a traditional Zanzibari craft still practised, particularly by women's groups in villages across the island. A workshop-style visit typically lets visitors try basic weaving techniques under a local weaver's guidance, often supporting the artisan or cooperative directly.
