Dar es Salaam Region, Administrative region on the eastern coast of Tanzania
The Dar es Salaam Region encompasses five districts around Tanzania's largest city, extending from coastal areas to inland territories with varied topography and vegetation.
The region developed from a small fishing settlement in 1865 into an administrative center during German colonization and later became Tanzania's primary commercial gateway.
The region integrates multiple ethnic communities, connecting Swahili coastal traditions with mainland customs through markets, festivals, and traditional ceremonies.
Transportation within the region operates through a network of roads, railways, and maritime routes, with Julius Nyerere International Airport serving international connections.
The region maintains the largest seaport in Tanzania, processing over 90 percent of the country's cargo and connecting East African nations to international maritime trade.
