Drinking and nightlife

|
|
Despite the city's overwhelmingly Muslim population, you won't go thirsty. There are several
nightclubs
too, though you might not guess as much during the day. Always check bills carefully as mistakes are increasingly common.
If you don't fancy joining the clubbing throng, then a stroll around the generally safe Old Town will uncover one or two
coffee-sellers
serving black
kahawa
from traditional high-spouted jugs. A perfect accompaniment to the coffee is perfumed almond
halwa
(which in Kenya means the gelatinous Indian variety, not the sesame sweet of the Middle East); of the best places to buy it is
Fatma Halwa Shop
at the corner of Langoni and Old Kilindini roads, which is open till 1am daily except Sunday. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
