Feel free

Hi. I'm hoping to go to Mombasa in January. Just wondering if there are any cultural/racial issues I should be wary of. I'm a female Canadian of Chinese descent. I have heard that there is some racial tension towards Asians. Just want to know if there are grounds for these rumours. Also, I understand that the east of Kenya is mainly Muslim, and am wondering what sort of dress would be appropriate. I know about long skirts, but should the shoulders and arms be covered as well? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A, hi,
The people of kenya are very loving and humble. Yes the east of kenya esp. the coastal region is mainly muslim but that does not mean that the dress code is defferent. Feel free to contact me on any querries you might want answered on my e mail add.

Mombasa is the best place for a holiday.
There is no dressing code. Do you need any other assistance from a local person? Contact me on

Mombasa you said? been here 3 years, and im yet to see a better torelant society. Come see churches next to mosques, bars next to temples yet the cardinal rules are obseved. Every one goes on with his/herlife. As for dressing, u cannot resisit exposing yr shoulders, the heat is sometimes unbearable. And anyway every one is doing it!! Free free!
