A room at Terrou-Bi hotel, Dakar Terrou-Bi is a large hotel about 15 minutes’ drive from the International Airport in Dakar, Senegal.

Senegal is a French-speaking West-African country with the Atlantic Ocean lapping at its shores. It is a popular holiday destination for Europeans and Dakar, its capital, is a pretty city dotted with little cafes, bistros and boulangeries that give it a European feel.
