'The Old town' is really an... by Nima
'The Old town' is really an old town in the heart of Mombasa island. You will come accross some ancient door frames and would want to carry them with you home. They are priceless!!!!One query about Mombasa is its safety. I have stayed here for 8 years now and have felt that it is as safe as any other place in the world. Don't provoke the wrong type of people by wearing bikinis on the road, or minis in the town. Don't walk with all your precious things on you. Be vigilant and avoid being overly friendly with someone coming up to you. As in anywhere else in the world be brave and cautious. The shysters and muggers are not much of a trouble if one is alert. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery into the marketplace, and avoid being rough, overdrunk etc. to create a scene.
With these things in mind I am sure you will have a very pleasant stay. People are generally very friendly.
