Senegal : typical souvenirs and crafts

 Shopping

Purchase some of the local hand-painted fabric which can be used to custom-make outfits by the local tailors and dressmakers. You can also bring back gold or silver filigreed jewels, wooden masks or statues, wickerwork (baskets, trays), wood dishes, copper statuettes and native paintings. However, leave aside crocodile bags, shoes and belts so as not to encourage poaching. Shops are open from 8:00am to 12:00pm and from 4:00pm to 7:30pm on weekdays.
