Senegal: Cultural Pearl and Coastal State of West Africa
Located at the westernmost tip of West Africa, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean in the west, Mauritania in the north, Mali in the east and Guinea and Guinea-Bissau in the south, Senegal is an important cultural and economic center in West Africa. The capital, Dakar, is the gateway to West Africa with its vibrant urban atmosphere and geographic location. The official language is French, but native languages such as Wolof and Fulani are widely used, and there is a multicultural mix. Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy, with peanut production among the highest in the world, fisheries are abundant, and tourism is famous for Gorée Island (a World Heritage Site for the slave trade) and Lake Rose (a pink-colored spectacle due to its high salt content). The warmth and hospitality of the Senegalese people and the infectious traditional music and dance (such as the mbalax) make it an ideal destination to experience West African culture.
