Learn more about hotels in Dakar

Dakar, the largest city in picturesque Senegal, plays host to a population of over a million residents. Once braced by Portuguese colonial influence and later grown into a significant port under French rule, Dakar has a rich tapestry of history that merits exploration. These historical layers are reflected in the living Lebu villages of Ouakam, Ngor, Yoff, and Hann that gracefully intermingle with the city’s pulsating modern aura.

Today, Dakar thrives as a major financial hub. It’s an enticing melting pot of not only Senegalese but also communities from Lebanon, Morocco, Mauritania, Cape Verde, and Guinea, each contributing to the city’s vibrant cultural fabric. The city's strategic importance isn't lost in the annals of history but thrives yet, its bustling port and rail facilities bearing testament to its colonial roots. With a structure similar to Paris, Dakar stands as both a commune and a department on its own within Senegal. The original charm of Dakar accompanies you at every turn, waiting to entice you at every street corner.
