Did you know? Senegal

Three kilometres off Dakar sits Gorée Island, a barren volcanic rock of just 36 hectares that UNESCO calls one of the most powerful symbols of the Atlantic slave trade. For four centuries it was the largest slave-trading centre on the African coast, and its Maison des Esclaves still frames the infamous "Door of No Return." Yet the same passport that today carries Senegalese travellers tells a quieter story of documents and borders: printed bilingually in French and English, biometric since 2007, it is an ECOWAS green book that opens dozens of frontiers across West Africa and beyond.

  • Passport The Senegalese passport ranks 76th worldwide on the Henley Passport Index, giving holders visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 56 destinations.
  • Document design Senegal's biometric passport, first issued around 2007 and valid for five years, prints its data page in both French and English under the ECOWAS-standard green cover.
  • Currency Senegal does not print its own money: it shares the West African CFA franc (XOF) with seven neighbours, a currency launched on 26 December 1945 and still pegged to the euro at a fixed 655.957 to one.
  • Money quirk Although each CFA franc is officially divided into 100 centimes, no centime coins are ever minted, so the smallest subdivision exists only on paper.
  • Currency reform In 2019 West African leaders agreed to rename the CFA franc the "Eco," ending the requirement to park half their reserves in the French Treasury and removing France from the currency board.
  • History Gorée Island, first reached by Portuguese sailors in 1444, became the largest slave-trading centre on the African coast and was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978.
  • First president Senegal's first president, Léopold Sédar Senghor, was a celebrated poet who in 1983 became the first African ever elected to the Académie française.
  • Natural record Lake Retba, the famous "Pink Lake" near Dakar, is saltier than the Dead Sea at up to 380 grams of salt per litre, and once served as the finish line of the Paris-Dakar Rally.
