The Swahili Coast refers to the East Africa's coastal stripe alongside the Indian Ocean.

The premise of the Swahili culture was documented as early as the 1st century with trade activities alongside the East African Coast.
The Swahili people were traders and merchants from a mix of inland Bantu speaking Africans and Arabs who both emigrated on the coast. Through the Indian Ocean trade, the exposition to other cultures (Persian, Indian, Portugese & Chinese) and the different migrations waves, they had absorbed naturally many foreign influences.
