Senegal Shopping Guide

The markets of Dakar, the craft shops selling local handicrafts like wooden carvings, masks and statues, large wooden platters and bowls, musical instruments and traditional beaten copper pendants, necklaces and bangles, pottery and entire crafts villages where visitors can see the crafts people at work are some of the places to visit while out shopping in Senegal. The one item that has tourists queuing up for more is the local textile, available in a wide variety of colours, textures, embroidered and plain.
