Best places: Tourist Attractions in Dakar, Senegal

Tiny island that played a part in the Atlantic slave trade, featuring colonial buildings & museums.

👍👍 I must admit i havent been inside the mosque. Even without being i side, this particular part of Dakar is just out of the world. From sunrise to sunset, this us one place that takes ones breath away with its mere natural scenary. Best time - prayer time of course. Best time to take a picture early...

Opened in 1962, this museum & memorial documents the history of the Atlantic slave trade.

🫤 The museum was an idea proposed by Senegal's first president Léopold Sédar Senghor over 50 years ago, and became a reality in 2015. For its sprawling size, the museum didn’t offer exhibitions worthy of its 14000 sqm. All exhibitions, accept for the one of African woman leaders one, are in French. S...

👍👍 A big mosque, with a North african style in Dakar, for me it has a lot of Moroccan architectural aspects. Like all mosques you can't enter if you are not a Muslim, but still merits a visit

Completed in 2010, this 49-m. bronze statue depicts a woman, man & child looking out to the sea.

Down-to-earth hotel opposite the ocean featuring an outdoor pool, 2 bars & free parking.

Hilltop 1864 peninsular lighthouse offering scenic views, guided tours & summer music performances.

👍 Goree is a tourist island that used to formally be a slave island. The entire island used to be for slave masters and had prisons for the slaves (women, children and men). You get to see all of that and you get to have a feel of what it was like to live in such a place at such a time however, the b...

Laid-back rooms in an unfussy hotel offering an outdoor pool & a vibrant bar serving snacks.

👍👍 Very professional diving center, the equipment was in an excellent condition, the whole team was very friendly, supportive and patient, fair prices. Overall a great experience, I was lucky to even see a seahorse at one of the dives. I can definately recommend this diving center in Dakar and I am loo...

👍👍 We went today a group of friends to Loman Art House to admire the place, the art inside it and the cuisine. We ordered in advance Moroccan food. The place is an oasis of beauty, calm and happiness. The art is original and telling. The food was fantastic (entrees followed by three types of tagine and...

👍👍 It was such a fantastic experience! First time for me! The coaching was amazing, kind and helpful! Gladly recommended!

👍👍 Haven’t had the chance to dine in yet, but I do plan to return. The pasta looks amazing. I got a pepperoni pizza to go and it was just how I wanted it. One of the best pizzas I’ve had in Dakar this far. I’ll update after my second visit.

👍 A popular place tohave ice- cream in Dakar (2000 Cefa, ~ 3€ for two generous scoops of ice-cream). The pistachio icecream was just amazing, and the most "interesting" one was vanial charcoal icecream. They have nice air-conditioned place to sit but it might be crowded depding on time of visit. The s...

👍👍 The stunning location and view over Ngor Island makes this restaurant a must go when you are in Dakar. Fresh fish, directly from the fishermen, is the other key that makes this place a pearl.

👍 A cozy place to spend by the ocean, have some cocktails and relax in peace. You can also try scuba diving and paddling with their professional team. My Mojito was just great 🙌🏻💫

👍👍 Quel talent! J'étais content d'y aller.

👍 This museum exhibits the history of Goree Island and Senegal. If you do not understand French, you may have difficulty viewing. The exhibits are displayed in the order of history, starting with Room 1. Go upstairs and you'll see cannons facing the sea.

👍👍 C'est ma première fois que je commande et j le recommande vivement. Des produits de qualité et une assistante à 1000/100 suis vraiment satisfaite. Merci à toute l'équipe particulièrement à la dame qui m'a assisté.
