Ras Vasfiia (Ras Mkita on Fumba peninsula?)

------------------------------------------------------

The only author to mention this island is Ibn Majid (1470).

Taken from: UNGUJA UKUU ON ZANZIBAR by Abdurahman Juma

 

Due south-west of Unguja Ukuu on Zanzibar Island is the Fumba peninsula with a shore containing pot-sherds of blue-green glazed ware and could have reached there during the period of primary occupation at Unguja Ukuu and that might be usefully explored in the future.
