- Fort Jesus Museum - Begin your journey with a pick-up from your hotel, residence, or villa in Diani and head to Fort Jesus, a 16th-century Portuguese fort. This historical site, located on a coral ridge at the harbor entrance, was constructed to protect the Portuguese settlers on the East African coast. The fort has witnessed numerous conflicts, including an attack by Omani Arabs from 1696 to 1698. Between 1837 and 1895, it served as military barracks.
