Practical information : Treat yourself (& others) Senegal

Timetable

Concept-stores, galleries and various shops are generally open every day from 9am to 7pm. Some close at lunchtime, others allow themselves one or two days off, generally on Sunday and/or Monday. However, on Friday afternoons, many shops are closed. As well as during Ramadan, many reduce and adapt their hours.

Budget & Tips

In craft markets, you will have to negotiate prices. Tip: Halve the advertised price, then increase it little by little until you reach an agreement with the merchant.

What's very local

Settled in the important cities of Senegal, the craft villages, managed by the chambers of trades, bring together sculptors, jewelers, dressmakers, among other local artisans, each of whom has his traditional hut that serves both as a workshop and a shop. You will find all the unmissable souvenirs of Senegal there, but you will have to negotiate!

Tourist traps

When buying a sculpture, it often happens that the dealer tells you that the wood is ebony. However, beware if the wood has only one colour, it may be another species. This precious wood can also be recognized by its weight, which is heavier than other species.
