Combining events: our simple rules

  1. One city per day. Dakar and Saly are more than an hour apart by road: don't combine two distant venues on the same day.
  2. Diamniadio by TER. The train links Dakar to Diamniadio in about 45 minutes; the last one leaves around 10 pm, so plan a ride-hailing car for late sessions.
  3. Saly for the day. The Day Pass (⁦1 500 FCFA⁩) lets you watch several beach events and leave and come back to the venue.
  4. On 31 October, leave early. One motorway lane is reserved for delegations for the opening ceremony, and about 50,000 spectators are expected.
  5. Tickets are non-refundable. The ticket image can be downloaded 7 days before the event.
