Learn more about Dakar

Jutting into the Atlantic on Africa's westernmost point, Dakar pulses with energy that's impossible to resist. Haggle for vibrant fabrics at Sandaga Market before catching the ferry to Gorée Island, where the House of Slaves offers a sobering glimpse into history. The towering African Renaissance Monument provides panoramic city views worth the climb. Ngor Beach invites with golden sands perfect for watching local wrestlers train at sunset. At Village des Arts, chat with painters in their studios between sips of bissap juice. Don't miss the IFAN Museum's extraordinary mask collection or the Contemporary Art Biennale if timing allows. After dark, follow the rhythms of mbalax music to clubs where dancing continues until dawn.

8/10 Good
"Avis sur le Noom Dakar Très bel hôtel, moderne avec une vue spectaculaire, une grande piscine et un très bon buffet déjeuner avec de la variété. Le personnel est sympathique, accueillant et on voit qu’il veut vraiment offrir un bon service. Quelques points à améliorer : dès notre arrivée, il y avait une odeur d’humidité dans la chambre. La chambre supérieure était aussi un peu petite pour 2 adultes et 1 enfant, donc un lit supplémentaire serait préférable. J’ai également demandé plusieurs fois du thé pour le minibar, mais je n’en ai jamais reçu. Selon mes nombreuses expériences dans des hôtels de luxe, je donnerais 7,5/10. Malgré ces petits points, l’ensemble était super et je recommande cet hôtel."
