The capital of the United Republic of Tanzania in East Africa. Population 1,361,000 (1988). Its name means "House of Peace" in Arabic, reflecting the fact that it has been influenced by Islam since ancient times and flourished as a port on the Indian Ocean coast. The railway line that starts here reaches the shores of Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria, and the copper mining areas of Zambia, and port activity is thriving with the export of inland products and the loading and unloading of inland imports. It is the center of commerce and industry, and is also home to a national university, museums, botanical gardens, and a general hospital.

東アフリカ,タンザニア連合共和国の首都。人口136万1000(1988)。この名称はアラビア語で〈平和の家〉を意味するが,このことは古くからイスラムの影響をうけ,インド洋岸の港として栄えたことを反映している。ここを起点とする鉄道はタンガニーカ湖畔,ビクトリア湖畔,およびザンビアの銅山地帯に達し,それら内陸の生産物の輸出と内陸向け輸入品の積卸しで,港湾活動が盛んである。商工業の中心であり,国立大学,博物館,植物園,総合病院なども整っている。
