Durban, Port city in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Located on the east coast of South Africa, Durban extends along the Natal Bay of the Indian Ocean with numerous beaches and subtropical vegetation.
English traders founded a settlement at Port Natal in 1824, receiving land from Zulu king Shaka before naming it Durban in 1835.
The city brings together Zulu, Indian, European, and Colored communities, creating a mix of traditions reflected in local food, music, and festivals.
The King Shaka International Airport connects Durban with domestic and international flights, while trains and buses link to other South African cities.
The Victoria Street Market houses Indian merchants selling spices, textiles, and fresh products in a building dating from the colonial period.
