Forodhani Gardens is identified by a prominent, central bandstand surrounded by palm trees and an eighteenth-century battery of cannons facing the Indian Ocean. Located on the Stone Town waterfront, this park sits on land reclaimed from what was once a landing beach for dhows. The name itself, Forodhani, translates from Kiswahili as customs, marking its proximity to the original customs house.
