With 3 days in Dakar, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. Beyond the postcard views from the Mamelles lighthouse, Dakar's true soul is in its neighborhoods. You'll find it in the vibrant street art of Ouakam, the chic cafes of Almadies, and the late-night music sessions in Point E.
Por Que Visitar Dakar
Experience legendary Senegalese hospitality (Teranga): This isn't just a concept; it's a daily practice. You'll feel it when a market vendor offers you attaya (sweet tea), when a stranger helps you find your way, or when you're invited to share a massive bowl of thieboudienne with a local family.
Surf world-class Atlantic waves and enjoy stunning beaches: From the consistent right-hand point break at Ngor Island to the powerful beach breaks of Ouakam and Yoff, Dakar is a surfer's paradise. For relaxation, the sheltered coves of Ngor and the vast stretches of Yoff Beach offer perfect sunbathing and swimming.
Dive into a vibrant and influential music scene: Dakar is the birthplace of mbalax, the fast-paced, percussion-driven sound popularized by Youssou N'Dour. Experience it live at iconic venues like Just 4 U or Thiossane, or hear its influence in the hip-hop and jazz fusion played in clubs across the city.
