Ile de Goree Travel Guide: 28 reviews and 68 photos
The whole island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Since the island is very small (about 900m on 350m) it is pedestrians only: no cars on the island.
Ile Gorée is located about 2 km at see from the main harbor of Dakar.
- Pros:laid back and interesting
- Cons:harassment
- In a nutshell:a must see

That’s a weird photo of the wall with the trees growing out of it. (On your castle tip.)
Good that there are no cars on the island!
Is it a weird photo or a weird sight?
Thanks for the comment anyway .. !
Sunny regards .. !
It's a good photo of a weird sight, with all the roots growing off over the wall.
