Thanks for bringing back to life the old memories...I remember Abdul Aziz bookstore. I used to walk all the way from Kariakoo to get comics from this store. The old lady used to ask bijo joyeche as soon you return the books.
Altaf, thank you so much. We cherish what you post. It means a lot to us. This video is a bit difficult to follow for people whose memories predate the 80s. I will need to watch multiple times to really relate to my old times. And you turn right going towards Tanganyika Library. I was thinking the straight way was towards Riddoch Motors. But still I remember the area but of course so much is new. On the left as you walk was the offices of the sole National newspaper - Daily News where on occasion I personally delivered Tanzania Olympic boxing coach Nizar Walji's press release. He used to train boxer Titus Simba who got real close to reaching the top at the Olympics. Pardon me but I cherish adding my little snippets of my memories of the time. Please keep up the good work. Only you can genuinely nurture our nostalgia
Thanks for your comment. Yes, you are right - the road next to Tanganyika Motors building leads to Riddock Motors, passing by the old Mawenzi Hotel building, which now hosts Holiday Inn Hotel. The Daily News building is brought down and in its place there is a new building hosting various offices.
Thank you so much for sharing! Was really hoping you continued on Zanaki and India Street. Popular Bookshop, telephone house, Bohora Mosque, Fashion Fabrics are few places I'd love to see if possible.
Salam Altaf bhai Your videos reminds me of the times when I was there, Ali Bhai store, Sulaiman Jee bldg and so much more that you show. Keep up brother
Once again ALTAF DAYA has come up with a beautiful video capturing the present day DSM and recalling its past. In particular he has recorded the ITHNASHRIi KABRASRASTAN (cemetery) solemnly with a heartfelt commentary. Also his visit to HADI Restaurant along with his friends provides humorous side to DSM'S way of life and its eating habits. This video's visuals to an extent revitalize my DSM THROUGH CHANGING TIMES write up. An interesting video for old timers to reminisce yesteryear DSM and compare it to its current scenario. Thanks Altaf.
Thank You so much for your note. Really Appreciate it. Just trying whenever I can, to revive some memories of old Dar. The videos are straight from the heart, no editing, no music or special effects.... just straight from the heart and raw!
@@AltafDaya Very true. Neither editing nor music but the effect remains, it touches your heart. Well done, keep it up. Not joking or flattering but I must say you've the makings of a good film Director.
My father's shop Green Light Studio used to be right to A T shop. He also had another shop directly opposite Odeon Cinema and Cinex on Independence Avenue as it used to be called then. I guess Drive In Cinema also gone which is where I saw Sholay 😊 Walking videos are so much better. City Sweet Centre very close to my house in East London
Used walk by your dad’s shop on my way to school at Mtendeni school The shop was magical imagined how the photos were taken (childhood imagination running wild😁)
There used to be MOTEL AGIP, and also a bldg with egg shaped windows close to the monument, if you can please also cover that. Best wishes from Perth, Ali Mujtaba
Hi Altaf bhai thank you so much for sharing this video. Tears are just flowing seeing all this. So much has changed. I left Dar in 1978. Altaf bhai plz do a walk also from Odeon roundabout to Where Cameo Cinema used to be. Plz go down the side street before Cinema where Ishnashri wedding hall is. Turn right from there where Bahadur Bawa Highway School. Of motoring used to be plzzzz 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jambo Bwana... Kemcho Altaf !! Thank you - Ahsante Sana - Shukriya. Lovely & a very interesting video, showing the various landmarks on this walk. I, personally am not frm Dsm (formerly of Tanga), though visited Dsm often enough in my teenage student years. By the way, are you the same Altaf Daya, now living in London with your family?? Keep up the good work Kwaheri for now. Kind Regards Shiraz Bhanji (Sona) PS: how about a walk from the IPS Building to Upanga ??? Or the IPS Building to Kariakoo ?? My good friend, actually classmate (from Karimjee Secondary School days, in Tanga) and now living in Kariakoo - does a daily walk to the city centre, passing the Darkhana (main Jamatkhana of the Ismaili Community).
Helloooooo!!! My aunt, uncle and cousins used to live in Tanga so I came there a couple of times for holiday. They are now in Toronto (Zahur and Salim Bhanji). Walking those paths may not be possible this time as very busy and also it may not be very safe/comfortable to carry my phone in such crowded areas. Will try to record by car if I can.
I was like 6 or 7 I had a bad toothache my mom and grandma took me to Aga Khan hospital; the doctor took one of my side tooth out without anesthesia you can imagine how much pain i was in🤣🤣🤣
What a nostalgic walk! Thank you for making this. You started the walk at the flats that was my home for 20 yrs!
Oh Great! Its so good to read such comments. Makes me feel good that the videos are connecting with a lot of people's memories
@@AltafDaya Keep at it!
Altaf, thank you for sharing. Have a nice trip.

Yes.... we moved to London in 2012 but now I live in Ras al Khaimah ....will be there for another year and then maybe move to UK or Dar
What is the name of the other hotel you mentioned bedsides Sleep-Inn. Thank you.
To stay in town, some of the decent places are Sleep Inn, Saphire, Nikko Towers, Urban Rose and Tanzanite Suites.
Please share approx rates. ❤❤❤
Please go through their specific websites but they range from $50 to $100 per night I think. I am not sure about exact rates
Thanks for sharing. You mentioned KT scope There was AT shop on morogoro road/ jamhuri st. Is it still there? I think the owners were related
I was like 6 or 7 I had a bad toothache my mom and grandma took me to Aga Khan hospital; the doctor took one of my side tooth out without anesthesia you can imagine how much pain i was in🤣🤣🤣
Really enjoy watching all your videos. Fantastic!!!
