Dakar

The capital of Senegal is Dakar. It is a metropolitan city that is vibrant and enjoyable to visit. The French founded the city of Dakar on the site of a small fishing village in 1857. Then, in 1902, it took the position of Saint-Louis as the capital of the A.O.F. Each area has its own distinct colors, charm, and animations. Dakois' nights have a distinct rhythm. Tourists will appreciate how easy it is to get around downtown Dakar on foot. Throughout the capital, there are several taxis known as "Ndiaga Ndiate" as well as buses. Dakar's sandy beaches are breathtaking.

It has already spread eastwards into the parched dust plains to the east, bursting out over the dockside jetties in a mix of bustling trader ships and fish-scented marketplaces. The port is responsible for the city's rapid growth in population and size, as well as infusing it with attractive culture and dynamism.

So, before delving into the strange medley of Lebanese eateries, African embroidery bazaars, roasted peanut stalls, and raucous beer bars around wild Sandaga Market, pay a visit to the curious Soviet-esque rises of the African Renaissance Monument, the acclaimed Museum of African Arts, and the old Dutch slave trade ruins on Goree Island.
