Nan ane avan lil la te raman te vizite akòz inaksesibilite ak yon repitasyon pou vyolans politik, ak eksepsyon nan remakab nan tout sa yo desine pa repitasyon li kòm yon sant pou medikaman tradisyonèl ak maji. Gen yon kominote byen gwo Arab sou zile a ki imigre soti nan Omàn. Popilasyon an se yon melanj de Waswahiliinhabitants Arab ak orijinal la nan zile a. Yon gwo pòsyon nan popilasyon an tou identifies kòm moun Shirazi.

In previous years the island was seldom visited due to inaccessibility and a reputation for political violence, with the notable exception of those drawn by its reputation as a center for traditional medicine and witchcraft. There is a quite large Arab community on the island who immigrated from Oman. The population is a mix of Arab and original Waswahiliinhabitants of the island. A significant portion of the population also identifies as Shirazi people.
