After Western Sahara, we stopped at Dakar, the capital of Senegal, another Francophone country. We only had limited time there. On arrival we visited Goree Island, the transhipment centre for the trans Atlantic slave trade of the 19th century. Many of the slaves ended up in North America.
On the next day we had a tour of the city and stopped by a large market place, the Soumbedioune Market.
