Gede Ruins

Step into the mystery of an ancient Swahili settlement.

The remains of a Swahili town set within coastal forest near Watamu, a short drive from Malindi.

Gede's coral-stone mosques, palace and houses date back several centuries and reveal the sophistication of Swahili coastal life.

The site is protected as a national monument, and its shaded forest paths make it a calm and atmospheric place to explore.
