LAMU CARVED DOORS GUIDED WALKING TOUR
Experience the world renowned Lamu Swahili Doors through a curated guided walking tour through the town. There are a lot of fascinating things to see and do in Lamu and the traditional woodcarving handiwork on the majestic wooden doors, is high on the list! This unique experience focuses on the histories and carving styles of these magnificent pieces of culture that have been passed down the generations.
This guided tour is curated so as to view some of the most significant doors on the island from the POV of a bonafide woodcarver.
The walk entails walking through the Old Town of Lamu, the best preserved Swahili settlement in all of East Africa & a UNESCO world heritage site. Whether you are into cultural heritages and expressions, architecture, traditional crafts, African art, heritage and preservation or just curious - this is for you. I am very happy to usher you into this beautiful culture. I take you to the innards of the town - off the beaten tracks - to hunt down view some of the most beautiful and oldest doors. What beats an pleasurable yet invigorating stroll to view so much beauty in one go?
The tour lasts for 1.5 hours and this is valued at $25 per person.
