Dodoma, Tanzania is the capital of the United Republic of Tanzania, located in the central highlands region of the country, and is the administrative center and political hub of the country. Although Dar es Salaam is still the economy and the largest city, Dodoma has officially been the capital since 1996, assuming important functions such as government institutions, parliament and others. The city is located in the southern section of the East African Rift Valley, at an altitude of about 1,200 meters above sea level, and enjoys a mild and pleasant climate, with an average annual temperature of about 22°C, which is cooler compared to coastal cities. Dodoma is the transportation hub of central Tanzania, where a number of major highways intersect, connecting the country's major cities and neighboring countries. The economy is based on agriculture and the surrounding area is rich in maize, wheat, cotton and other crops, and is an important distribution center for agricultural products. As an emerging capital, Dodoma has developed rapidly in recent years, and with educational institutions such as the University of Dodoma, it is gradually becoming the political, economic and cultural center of Tanzania's interior.
