Dakar - the capital of Senegal
The westernmost city of the African continent is the capital of Senegal, Dakar. The city is located on the peninsula of the Green Cape, washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This place is characterized by a fairly favorable climate, since the sea breeze has a refreshing effect all year round. The port of Dakar, founded in 1857 by French colonists on the west coast of Africa, is currently carrying out an impressive volume of international cargo transportation.
The capital of Senegal is the main political center of the country. It houses the presidential residence and various institutions of power structures. As in any other capital, industrial enterprises, financial institutions, educational institutions and cultural centers are concentrated in Dakar. The population of the Republic of Senegal, which has a capital of more than 1 million inhabitants (with a population of more than 2 million), is ethnically heterogeneous and includes more than 20 ethnic groups: Wolof, Fulbe, Serer, etc. Europeans (mostly French) make up about 1% of the total Number. The capital of Senegal is the place where one of the most important rally-raids of the planet, previously known as Paris-Dakar, and now it's just Dakar, finishes.
The religious center of a small African state is also its capital, Dakar. Senegal is a Muslim country in which 90% of the population profess Islam. One of the main mosques of the Republic of Senegal is in its capital.
