Timeline
17:25
Start with a hot coffee or Arabic tea at Jahazi Coffee House. It is open from 08:00 to 19:30, so it will be ready for you well before the evening rush.
18:10
Walk 14 minutes SSW to Fort Jesus. This is the best spot in Mombasa to watch the sun set toward the WSW. The walls offer a clear view of the sky changing colors as the day ends.
19:10
End your evening at Massai Beach. Take the short walk to catch the last of the ocean air and let the sounds of the port settle your mind after the historic visit.
Local tip
Check the route from Fort Jesus to Massai Beach, as there is no direct walking path listed between these two points.
Check before you go
