Penthouse vue océan — pointe des Almadies
Your host, Awa
My family has harvested salt on the north shore for three generations; I run the camp, six rooms and a mango tree. I am up at six for the bread, and I can take you to see the harvest before the coaches from Dakar arrive. In the evening there is nobody left but us, the birds and the dogs.
- The dish I cook best
- Le poulet yassa avec du riz et un peu de sel du lac, celui que ma mère met de côté avant que les camions ne passent.
- My favourite corner of the neighbourhood
- La crête de dune entre le lac et l'océan, à sept heures du matin. On voit les deux eaux en même temps et on n'entend rien.
- What teranga means to me
- Donner ce qu'on a sans faire d'histoires. Si vous arrivez à quinze heures affamé, on ne vous demandera pas si vous avez réservé le repas.
- What I always recommend
- Dormez une nuit au lieu de venir à la journée. Entre dix-sept heures et neuf heures, le lac ne ressemble à aucune photo que vous avez vue.
Three-bedroom penthouse with a full-length sunset terrace over the Atlantic.

Getting there
From AIBD: 55 km, 1 h to 1 h 20 on the motorway then the VDN — this is the far end of the peninsula, so always allow twenty minutes more than for the Plateau. From the Plateau: 15 km, 25 min on a clear road along the western corniche, 50 min to an hour at peak times. A Plateau-Almadies taxi costs 3,000-5,000 CFA depending on the hour. The BRT does not come this far up; Dakar Dem Dikk buses serve the VDN, ten minutes' walk away. Ngor and its beach are 5 min away, Ouakam 10, and the old runway separates the district from Yoff.
