Dakar Region, Administrative region in western Senegal
The Dakar Region spans across the Cap-Vert Peninsula, containing five departments including Dakar, Guédiawaye, Pikine, Rufisque, and Keur Massar.
The region transformed from a small settlement of 1,600 residents in 1871 to a major urban center with 4 million inhabitants by 2023.
The region maintains strong Wolof cultural influences through traditional music, dance performances, and art exhibitions at multiple cultural venues.
The transportation network includes the Blaise Diagne International Airport, regional trains, buses, and taxis connecting all major districts.
Located at the westernmost point of mainland Africa, the region houses both French colonial architecture and modern administrative buildings.
