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.
