Resort Malindi (Malindi), located on the shores of the Indian Ocean to the north of Mombasa, is also a marine reserve. In its coastal coral reefs, a myriad of diverse marine creatures are found. Malindi itself is actually divided into two halves: an "Italian" part, a modern tourist center with expensive shops, casinos, nightclubs, luxury hotels with large areas and lots of entertainment - and a medieval Arab city with colorful restaurants and inexpensive hotels.
