Thies Hotels and Accommodation
Once a little French colonial town, Thies is now Senegal’s second largest city. It is located just 70 kilometers from the capital city Dakar. Souvenir hunters will enjoy visiting the Thies Village Artisenal during their getaway to Thies. This is a fascinating place to see the artists at work and pick up unique souvenirs. The specialties here are leather goods, silver, wood carvings and ofcourse, drums. The market at Thies Market is an interesting place for tourists to visit simply because it is less touristy than those at Dakar. Here you can see the vibrant colors and culture of Thies at work. It is a great place to buy some of the beautiful Senegalese fabrics.
Thies also boasts an interesting museum inside the local fort. Here you can unravel the past of Thies. Just outside Thies is a Saharan style mosque, which is a well known pilgrimage site. A short way from Thies is the famous Pink Lake. This lake has a pink color which varies in intensity according to its salinity. This lake is only second in its salinity to the Dead Sea. Everything floats in it and you can see locals harvesting the salt from the lake to sell. Thies is a great getaway destination for people who want to experience the real Senegal. Senegal is famous for the hospitality of its people and you can experience it first hand here with cheap hotels available with EasyToBook.com.
