THE DAKAR TOUR BY RAPID BUS
The "car rapide" is one of the most popular means of transport in Senegal. Dakar residents recognize the value of this small bus, painted yellow and blue with floral murals, and the apprentice driver, always agile, at the back of the vehicle.
On a sunny day, a tour of Dakar is a great activity to do with friends, colleagues or family!
We begin with a visit to the African Renaissance Monument, 52 meters high, which offers a splendid view of Dakar. We then make a stop at the Mosque of Divinity, also located in Ouakam, a beautiful architectural achievement nestled just a few meters from the Atlantic Ocean.
During our excursion, we stopped at the African Memorial Square where we discovered large exhibition spaces and a map of Africa. It's a place for gatherings and artistic expression, located next to the Sea Plaza shopping center.

We even spotted some fishermen in the distance. And so, we decided to take some photos before heading to Tacos de Lyon for lunch!
Our speedboat tour ended at the Soumbédioune craft village, a traditional site where fishermen live on one side and artisans on the other. The originality of their work even prompted us to buy a fan made of wax fabric.
Visiting all these places in a single day was a pleasant experience aboard this symbol of Dakar's urban transport!
