Chambre privée chez l'habitant — Almadies

Your host, Moussa

Host since 2021

I have run a fabric shop on Île Nord for twenty-two years: bazin, wax, lace. The flat above was my mother's; I kept it as it was, with the wooden gallery over the street. I know every tailor in the quarter and the best fishmonger in Guet Ndar. Ask me before you buy anything.

The dish I cook best
Le thiéboudieune rouge, celui de Saint-Louis, avec le riz cassé et les légumes entiers. C'est ici qu'il est né, on ne va pas se mentir.
My favourite corner of the neighbourhood
Le pont Faidherbe à dix-huit heures trente, du côté aval. Tout le monde s'y arrête et personne ne l'avoue.
What teranga means to me
Recevoir quelqu'un comme si sa mère allait passer vérifier. Draps propres, eau fraîche, et on demande des nouvelles avant de parler d'argent.
What I always recommend
Traversez à Guet Ndar tôt le matin quand les pirogues rentrent, puis revenez déjeuner sur l'île. Et gardez une journée pour le Djoudj entre décembre et mars.
The language we speak at home
Wolof à la maison, français à la boutique, et l'anglais que j'ai appris avec les clients du festival de jazz.

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.
