Workation in Thies: the essentials
Thiès, Senegal's third-largest city with about 390,000 residents, lies inland on a plateau 72 km east of Dakar, at the junction of the railway lines to Dakar, Bamako and Saint-Louis. The railway made the town, and the railway workers' strike of 1947 and 1948 inspired Ousmane Sembène's novel God's Bits of Wood. Today it is an industrial centre and regional capital, known as well for its tapestry workshops and its university. The Atlantic is about 25 km away, and Blaise Diagne International Airport about 20 km. Few foreigners stop for long.
