Formerly a critical stop for the Portuguese India Armadas and a key city of the French colonial empire, today Dakar stands as one of Africa's major financial centres. Its strategic location on the Cap-Vert peninsula now houses contemporary national and regional banks, international organisations, NGOs, and research centres, turning Dakar into a buzzing metropolis that never loses touch with its past.

Navigating through Dakar’s airport connects you to the heart of this colourful kaleidoscope of cultures. Welcomed by the warm sea breezes, expect to rub shoulders with a diverse populace including large Lebanese, Moroccan, Mauritanian, Cape Verdean, and Guinean communities. This spirit of multiculturalism extends to Dakar’s vibrant city streets and markets, ensuring your Senegalese adventure begins from the moment you disembark.
