Dakar, Senegal

Answer 1

The city of Dakar, the capital of Senegal, is the westernmost city on the mainland of Africa. Dakar attracts visitors every year. People come to see the monuments, walk on the cliff tops and beaches, and shop at the markets.

The Dakar Grand Mosque is one of the most important buildings to locals. It is an impressive building where Muslims go to worship. On Friday afternoons, the call to prayer can be heard throughout Dakar. Non-Muslim men can enter the Mosque to observe what is going on, but non-Muslim women cannot. However, for any visitor to Dakar, the Mosque is worth seeing even from the outside. Dakar is on the coast so there are plenty of opportunities for visitors to see cliffs and beaches. The markets in Dakar are popular to both locals and tourists. Visitors can find a large array of local foods and crafts at these downtown markets.

Dakar has much to offer its visitors, whether they are interested in monuments, beaches, or shopping, or all three.
