The spiritual centre of the Mouride brotherhood, Touba is home to one of West Africa’s most beautiful great mosques.
Founded by Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba in 1887, Touba is a major place of prayer and reflection for millions of Mouride Muslims.
Every year the Grand Magal commemorates Ahmadou Bamba’s exile and draws millions of pilgrims. The city offers visitors a unique encounter with faith, history and Senegalese solidarity.
