The Mangapwani Slave Chamber is around 20 kilometres north of Stone Town. Zanzibar Slave Chambers were built around 1880 from a cave that was connected to the seaside 2 kilometres out of reach. It was a key transit route for captured slaves to be sold to the outside world when slavery was abolished in 1873, especially in the Middle East. Between 1880 and 1905, the Slave Chamber was used to conceal human cargo for disposal. The Slave Chamber is a square underground cage that was excavated out of coralline rock and has a ceiling on top. The room was initially built by Mohammed Bin Nassor Al-Alwi, a prosperous slave dealer
