Marché soumbédioune
Market
👍 Very nice craft market. However, be careful with the prices, do not forget to negotiate! Some sellers can be a bit pushy, but don't blame them there's a lot of competition, just push them back nicely!
Otherwise you will find here variety of handmade and beautiful crafts.

All exhibitions, accept for the one of African woman leaders one, are in French. S...

Grand Mosque of Dakar
Mosque
👍👍 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

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...
