Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Dar es Salaam — 'Haven of Peace' in Arabic — belies its name with a kinetic energy that pulses through its streets. The city center is walkable, with the National Museum, Askari Monument, and St. Joseph's Cathedral clustered near the harbor. Kariakoo Market is one of the largest in East Africa, a sprawling maze of stalls selling everything from fabrics to fresh produce. The Slipway and Oyster Bay waterfront areas offer a more relaxed walking experience with ocean views, craft markets, and seafood restaurants. The Kivukoni Fish Market at dawn is one of the most authentic experiences in the city.
