Tourist attractions Lompoul Desert

Set in northwestern Senegal, between Dakar and Saint-Louis, the Lompoul Desert is a striking landscape of golden dunes and orange sand, just a few kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean. Although it covers a relatively small area, its rolling sands and shifting colours create an atmosphere reminiscent of the great Sahara.

Take in its sandy landscapes, especially spectacular in the light of sunrise and sunset, and discover the contrast between the desert setting and the nearby Atlantic coast. Interestingly, nights can be surprisingly cool compared to daytime temperatures. The area has also undergone major changes due to mining, which has altered some of its original dunes.
