Thiès, Senegal's third largest city, is located about 70 kilometers east of the capital, Dakar, and is an important industrial, transportation and cultural center for the country. As a railroad hub, it connects Dakar with landlocked countries such as Mali and Mauritania. The economy is known for its textiles, carpet manufacturing and handicrafts, especially traditional carpet weaving, which is renowned in West Africa. Agriculture is well developed around the city, with peanut cultivation and processing being one of the mainstays. Tivawane is also known for its multiculturalism, with local Wolof and Serer traditions coexisting harmoniously with modern urban life, making it a window on the development of Senegal's interior.
