HALF DAY
The ruins of the city of Gede are located 7 km from the town of Watamu and are the most important archaeological site on the coast. The word "Gede" comes from the Oromo dialect and means "precious." Declared a national monument in 1927 and a national park in 1948, this site is surrounded by baobab trees. The ruins date back to the ancient merchant city of Gedi, dating between the 13th and 17th centuries. Of particular note are the three mosques and the sultan's house. The objects found in the houses are kept in the museum, opened in 2000, which can be visited at the end of the tour. Furthermore, at the entrance, we will be greeted by many friendly monkeys accustomed to the presence and interaction with humans, who are very fond of the bananas brought by tourists! It's almost impossible not to have them stolen from your hands.
