Everybody visiting Dakar goes there, and for a reason! Better going in dry season, I was lucky enough to be there on a day in which the colour was particularly strong. The contrast with the white of the salt piles, makes the scene even more surreal. Drawback: the car hadn't stopped yet, when 3 men called from outside suggesting different, expensive, ways of having a tour. A walk was my choice, nonetheless I couldn't walk alone, a man came with me, said I could go on my own, and of course asked me for money at the end.

We went to Joal Fadiout as part of a day excursion of Nouvelles Frontieres from Dakar. The excursion consisted of going to a Rural market in the morning and the Shell Island. I did this excursion as I wanted to see more of Senegal. The Rural market was really interesting as this is where the local farmers sell their livestock such as goats, sheep, donkeys and horses. It also has a general market as well. We went to Shell market in the afternoon. This island has two walkways, one to the island itself and another one to a joint Muslim and Christian cemetery. We had a guide who lived on the island, show us the island. The entire island is covered with shells and there lots of places where you can buy local crafts. I really enjoyed this excursion as it gave me insight to the everyday life in Senegal.

Amazing place where you will find real artists painting. No hassle. No hard sellers. To the contrary none lf them would adress you unless you do. Sadly this place is being confused by some reviewers with Village Artisanal which really is unfair as the latter is a very commercial touristic area with no original art creator (and very pushing traders!). Some of the reviewers actually visited Village Artisanal instead of Village des Arts!

According to the local guides, the building is now a hospital run by nuns but it used to be a slave house owned by a lady born of a white Portuguese man and a black virgin slave. Being a child of the slave owner, she had the power to own and sell slaves. This is one of the many relics of the slave trade.
