Red earth, rainforests and breathtaking beaches.
Next summer, discover the extraordinary nature and contagious energy of Dakar, the capital of Senegal.
Dakar is a treasure trove located on the western tip of Africa, captivating not only for its stunning natural beauty, but also for its vibrant culture.
The streets of Dakar are filled with artisan markets, the scent of couscous, Sabar dancers, music and smiles.
The African Renaissance Monument, the tallest in Africa, is absolutely worth a visit. To admire this imposing bronze statue, you will have to climb many steps, but once you reach the top a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean will repay you for all your efforts.
The city's coastlines are dotted with golden sandy beaches and perfect surfing waves. If you love nature, enjoy sun, sea and sand on N'Gor beach or visit the Island of Gorée, which has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Between outings, take a break and enjoy the delicious local cuisine at the Soumbedioune market where you can sample Thieboudienne, a typical Senegalese dish based on fish, rice and tomato sauce.
