Île de Gorée is one of the 19 communes d'arrondissement of the city of Dakar, Senegal. It is an 18.2-hectare (45-acre) island located two kilometres at sea from the main harbour of Dakar, famous as a destination for people interested in the Atlantic slave trade.
Gorée is an intriguing destination that offers a glimpse into the country's rich history and culture. This small island was once a major center for the transatlantic slave trade, where thousands of enslaved Africans were held captive before being shipped off to the Americas. Today, Gorée serves as a reminder of this dark chapter in history and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As you wander through the narrow streets of Gorée, you'll be transported back in time to the colonial era. The island is filled with pastel-colored houses, museums, and monuments that tell the story of its past. The House of Slaves is one of the most popular attractions on the island, where you can see the cramped conditions that slaves were kept in and learn about their harrowing journey to the New World.
