About Mombasa
Mombasa is East Africa's great port city, layered with a thousand years of Swahili, Arab, Portuguese and British history. Fort Jesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, guards the harbour mouth beside the Old Town's carved balconies, spice stalls and tuk-tuk bustle. North and south of the island run the coast's famous beaches, from Nyali to Diani, making Mombasa both a destination and the doorway to Kenya's bush-and-beach combinations.
