Dakar:

Dakar is the capital city of Senegal. The city is also the most populous in the country, home to an estimated 2 million people. The city is situated on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in western Senegal.

Dakar, founded at around the 15th century, grew rapidly in following centuries as a key port on the trans-Atlantic trade route. The city became the capital of Senegal in 1957 and is home to the Presidential palace as well as the country’s parliament.

The city is close to a number of good beaches and other interesting places to see are the cultural centre, local markets, zoo and animal orphanage and religious buildings. The Paris-Dakar rally which culminates here is a popular road race held annually.

Presently, Port activities form a major part of the city’s economy. Dakar is served by the Leopold Senghor International Airport.
