Thiès, city in Senegal
Thiès is a major city in the Thiès Department and serves as the administrative center of its region. The city sprawls across flat terrain and blends colonial-era buildings with contemporary residential neighborhoods.
Thiès originated as a railway station during French colonial times and developed into an important trade hub. The city gained prominence after Senegal's independence as a regional administrative center.
The city is accessible by rail and road with basic hotels, markets, and services throughout. Visitors should prepare for hot days and note that many shops close during prayer times.
