The Cultural Heritage Arusha Tanzania Center, established in 1994, is a privately owned complex of boutiques and galleries that features works of art by well-known African artists. You can spend time at semi-precious stones and jewelry stores, clothing shops, and an excellent commercial art gallery there. There are also restaurants where you can dine after visiting the center. This place offers you the chance to explore the many different types of art, such as carvings, paintings, and photography that may take you half of the day to witness all. Moreover, you will get to understand more about the Tanzanite, the beautiful blue stone from Tanzania. This diamond is endemic to the Mirerani Hills and has the name of its sole known source, Tanzania. When visiting the Arusha Center, you can learn more about the history and the impact of the gem on the development of Tanzania and other countries.

The Arusha Cultural Heritage Center has become recognizable thanks to the distinctive architecture of the main building which bears a resemblance to the Uhuru Peak of Mount Kilimanjaro.
