Mbour is a genuine fishing port on the Petite-Côte. The colourful return of the fishing fleet is one of Senegal’s liveliest spectacles.
Mbour lies about 85 km from Dakar and has Senegal’s second-largest concentration of fishermen. Its celebrated market comes alive every afternoon.
Colourful pirogues land their catch as buyers, fish sellers and improvised auctions fill the shore with movement and sound: everyday Senegal at its most vivid.
