紫气东来-123

4.0/5

Excellent

For locals or those with a certificate of long-term residence, it costs 1,500 CFA; for ordinary people, it costs about 5,000 CFA. 10,000 CFA is equivalent to about RMB 115. The island is independent and quiet, with small flowers in the attic window, some historical relics, and a small area.

Gorée attraction highlights

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Gore Island, located about 3 kilometers southeast of Dakar, the capital of Senegal, is not large in size, only 900 meters long from north to south. It used to be a base for prohibiting and selling black slaves. From 1510-1848, about 20 million black slaves were transported from here. In 1981, it became a World Heritage Site.
