Dar es Salaam

Dar es Salaam, the economic capital and largest city of Tanzania, is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Located in a quiet bay off the Indian Ocean coast, Dar es Salaam has developed significantly to become a commercial hub of the entire East African region. Its bustling harbour is the main port in Tanzania. Moreover, most of the company offices and government headquarters in the country, as well as Tanzania’s first and principal stock exchange, are located in Dar es Salaam. It is also a popular tourist destination owing to its beautiful beaches and colourful nightlife. Since the city is the seat of government administration and a major port, it is well connected to the rest of the continent. Dar es Salaam International Airport serves both domestic and international flights.
