The Mosque of the Divinity outside of Dakar fuses modernism and traditional Islamic architecture. Its two towers serve as ideal lookout points over the vast ocean waters surrounding Senegal. Despite its appeal to tourists, the mosque also remains a revered pilgrimage site. For an even more impressive panorama, explore the cliffs near the mosque.

Another powerful waterfall is the Sopoaga Falls where you will find a lovely garden and picnic area. The garden is full of native plants and trees making it a beautiful place. Make sure not to miss the coconut-husking demonstration and taste the lovely fruit before leaving.
