Introducing Senegal
Sometimes called the “gateway to Africa” due to its location at the westernmost point of the continent, Senegal has a coastline along the Atlantic Ocean and shares land borders with Mali, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, and Mauritania, as well as the Gambia. Senegal’s natural beauty and biodiversity attract visitors, as do UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the Djoudj Bird Sanctuary, home to more than three million migratory birds; Niokolo-Koba National Park; the Saloum Delta, with its mangrove forests; Saint-Louis Island, with its stunning 19th-century colonial architecture; and the evocative Gorée Island, a significant historic site due to its legacy as a slave trading center. Another interesting place to visit in Senegal is Fadiouth, an artificial island made of clam shells. Senegalese cuisine, with its French and Arabic influences, is celebrated worldwide — when you visit with a Senegal flight ticket, you can sample some of these unique dishes.
Turkish Airlines’ flights to Senegal arrive at Blaise Diagne International Airport in the Senegalese capital, Dakar. Flights to Senegal take an average of seven hours and 55 minutes; fares and schedules for flights to Senegal may vary according to season.
