The place is huge, spread out over multiple streets. You can find anything you want, but you need to know where to look. When you are walking around solo people will come up and "help" you. Its not malicious but they want to bring you to their store. I actually found it was very helpful having someone from Dakar with you as a guide. Both to help negotiate and find what you wanted. I met Ibrahim (Whatsapp +221 77 384 21 91) who spoke multiple languages including French and English. I explained what I wanted and he was able to track down exactly that. There's no way I would have found a child's sized Senegal national basketball jersey without his help! Highly recommended!

I went to this market on a Saturday when it was supposed to be at it's busiest. There's a variety of merchandise ranging from clothing to food. The prices are way too steep once they notice you're a foreigner. The quality of clothing is wanting, poorly finished and low quality fabric. I would not shop here again if not to bring something home from a foreign country and for the experience.
