Welcome to the heart of Amariah Hotel




DAR ES SALAAM - THE HAVEN OF PEACE

If you happen to visit Tanzania, you’ll definitely come across the word Dar es Salaam, the largest commercial City in the Country.

Do you know the history of Dar es Salaam?

Dar es Salaam, which is an Arabic word meaning - The ‘residence of peace’ is the largest city and the commercial capital of Tanzania.  Originally the nation’s capital, Dar es Salaam was founded as a summer residence for the Sultan of Zanzibar.

It started to become an important financial and economic center in the region after the arrival of the Germans in the late 1800s and was made the capital of the German East Africa. After the World War I, the British took control of German East Africa where Tanganyika was formed, with Dar maintaining its commercial capital status. It continued from then till now.

Dar is now a bustling and thriving city; the largest in Tanzania with a population of over 4 million inhabitants. Dar is the third fastest growing city in Africa & the ninth fastest in the world. Additionally, at its current rate of growth Dar is poised to reach a ‘Mega-City’ status (over 10 million residents) in the next 15 – 20 yrs. It has grown into the East Africa’s second-busiest port & is touted to take the number one spot in the near future. Furthermore, with the Dar port clearing cargo worth $15 billion annually as of 2013, its growth potential is there for all to see.

Its position as the commercial and administrative capital of Tanzania (it was the capital city until Dodoma replaced it in 1974) has seen it grow considerably. More so, Dar has become a popular tourist destination among African tourists and those from all over the world? Why?
Well here are some reasons:

·         Gorgeous Sandy Beaches: From the North to the South of the city, one can enjoy the feeling of sun-kissed sand massaging one’s feet
·         The Islands: Yes, you read that correctly. For a truly relaxing experience of the City, visiting the islands of Mbudya and Bongoyo are a must. They’re 20 & 30 minutes away from the mainland Dar, a short distance to access the paradise. It’s a cheap trip too.
·         Tropical Climate: Comprises rainy and dry reasons. The tropical climate brings with it warmth and sun virtually most part of the year. This being the case, it makes for a very appealing destination for those looking to escape winter or colder conditions in June/July or December/January/February
·         Zanzibar is nearby: As Zanzibar attracts millions of visitors per year, this works in Dar’s favor with many tourists either passing through or adding Dar entirely to their travel itinerary.  A major reason for this is not only Dar’s attractions, but it’s a short-distance from Zanzibar (2 hours by speed ferry or 20 minutes by air)

These are the four fantastic reasons that can convince you to visit Dar es Salaam.

AMARIAH HOTEL- THE HEART OF ADVENTURE

If you are coming to Dar es Salaam and you are either a business traveler or a tourist, then why not try our hotel – The magnificent Amariah, which is located at the heart of the Dar’s Central Commercial District

Amariah Hotel is a two-star boutique leisure hotel, with Hotel's Swahili Culture architectural style, elegant decoration and top quality facilities.

Geographically, the Hotel’s location is just a 5-minute drive from the Jetty for Zanzibar Ferries, 5-minute drive from the Nyerere International Convention Centre and 50-minute drive from the Julius Nyerere International Airport.

The Amariah Hotel comprises the main Hotel, which is located at the City Center just about 10 meters from the famous symbol of Dar es Salaam - the Askari Monument and the Hotel branch, about 100 metres from The Hubert Kairuki Memorial Hotel at the Mikocheni Area
