Hann

Hann is a district located on the eastern side of the Dakar Peninsula. It is one of the traditional Lebou villages of the Cap-Vert Peninsula, inhabited by the Lebou people. Travelers visit this area to experience the local culture of the village and to access the beaches that stretch along its crescent-shaped bay.

Getting There

The district is accessible from Dakar city centre via taxi or local transport. Depending on traffic conditions, the journey typically takes between 20 and 40 minutes.

Duration of Visit

Depending on whether you are visiting the village streets or spending time by the coast, allow 2 to 4 hours to explore the area.

When to Visit

The coastal areas are best visited during the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. Like many popular coastal districts in Dakar, the beaches can become crowded during weekends and public holidays.
