Dakar

Dakar is the capital of Senegal, in West Africa. It's an Atlantic port on the Cap-Vert promontory. Its customary Médina quarter is home to the Grande Mosquée, set apart by a transcending minaret. The Musée Théodore Monod shows social antiques including dress, drums, carvings and devices. The city's lively nightlife is propelled by the neighborhood mbalax music. Dakar's Place de l'Indépendance is a focal center point disregarded by stupendous pioneer structures.

The Village des Arts houses craftsmen's workshops and an exhibition. The Marché des HLM advertise represents considerable authority in brilliantly shaded textures, and has nearby tailors. Pioneer structures and the Maison des Esclaves exhibition hall on the tranquil harbor island of Île de Gorée follow the historical backdrop of the African slave exchange.
