Touba is a city that will leave you breathless with its grandeur and religious significance. It’s considered the symbolic city of the religion in Senegal and the entire West Africa region. During mid-Ramadan, the city is buzzing with large groups of people in different outfits, and the size of the mosques and the number of stories you can collect will make your senses work fully.

It’s an incredible experience that you wouldn’t want to miss, which is why many people from different countries are drawn to the city to receive blessings from the family of the founder of the Tariqa al Mouridia. Touba is a unique city in Senegal, much like the Vatican in Italy, and it’s fascinating to note that it’s almost like an independent city.
