Previously dubbed the Cape Malay Quarter, the area is now known as "Bo Kaap" after its people, who are descendants of Malaysian slaves and Indonesian political prisoners brought to the Cape by the Dutch East Indies Company during the 17 century.

    • We will also see the Owaal Masjid, which was the first house and mosque in South Africa. 
    • Finally, we will finish our experience at one of the eight mosques in the small area. Throughout the tour, the guide will regale you with stories about the history of these places and ensure that your tour is rich, informative, and unforgettable.
