Temeke District, Administrative district in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Temeke is an administrative district in Dar es Salaam that stretches along the Indian Ocean with industrial and port zones. The region houses the National Stadium and multiple neighborhoods that together serve over a million people.
The district was long part of the coastal city and gained formal administrative structures through legislation in 1999. This reorganization enabled better management of the rapidly growing area with its diverse functions.
The neighborhood pulses with local markets and community gatherings, where traditional arts thrive and residents share daily routines across distinct wards.
The area is accessible through several road connections linking coastal zones with industrial areas. Visitors should use the port and stadium complex as main orientation points, as these are well-known landmarks in this part of the city.
A major port in this area handles most of the shipping traffic for the entire region and several neighboring countries. This trading activity makes it one of the busiest ports along the East African coast.
