- Fort Jesus Museum - Begin the day with a pick-up from your hotel or port at 8 am and head to Fort Jesus, constructed by the Portuguese in the 16th Century. This site, chosen for its strategic coral ridge location at the harbor entrance, was built to ensure the safety of the Portuguese on the East Coast of Africa. The fort has a rich history of conflicts among various parties in Mombasa. It was besieged by Omani Arabs from 1696 to 1698. Between 1837 and 1895, it served as barracks for soldiers. When the British protectorate was declared on July 1, 1895, the fort was transformed into a prison. Today, it stands as a significant historical landmark in the East African region.
