The country of Youssou N’dour 

Senegal is a scintillating country with a fascinating culture, friendly inhabitants and an exquisitely beautiful coastline that is no less than 750 kilometres long. 

Senegal is situated in West Africa, in the northern hemisphere. The landscape of Senegal is uninteresting. Because the country is mainly flat, most of its regions tend to be boring to look at. The flat landscape is broken by two extinct volcanoes on the peninsula, where the city of Dakar is located. Because of their shape, they are popularly known as “Les Mamelles” (the Breasts).

Senegal might have a boring landscape, but it does have beautiful beaches. It has a pleasant temperature, mainly thanks to the gentle breeze coming from the sea. You can spend hours gazing at the ocean, watch fishing boats or take part in water sports. The villages of Joal and Fadiout are certainly worth a visit. They have been built on three small islands, made entirely out of shells.
