There aren't that many arabs, actually there are about 40k to 100k in Kenya with most of them living in Mombasa and the coast. Most pictures of Mombasa where the traditional arabic architecture presents itself is where you'll find them coz their ancestors built them, it's however hard to find a pure arab coz they've intermarried a lot, so the majority are black people, plus the pictures here are only a very small portion of the huge city of Mombasa.
