A beautiful circular fort built to protect the island and its slave trade. A strategic location for the western tip of Africa. It has interesting displays and a great panoramic view of the area. Definitely worth a visit.

The Museum and its exhibitions aren't isn't nearly as nice as Maisons Des Esclaves, yet costing twice as much to enter. Regardless - worth a visit, and you can also climb the fortress walls for good views and photo ops of the island.

Ok museum. As others said, its twice the price of the House of Slaves with less information. Cool views of Goree from the roof, though. And you can get a tablet to listen to an English translation of the information.

Closed on Mondays!!Our tour visited the island on a Monday ! (Hence the 3 stars only) I would have really liked to have seen inside, but the guard sitting in the entrance joked that no, he would not make an exception for me, even if I said "please" nicely! I had to make do with reading all the information of the boards outside (camera malfunction so no pictures of the info boards)and wander around the outside....Canons!!!!!

This museum exhibits the history of Goree Island and Senegal. If you do not understand French, you may have difficulty viewing. The exhibits are displayed in the order of history, starting with Room 1. Go upstairs and you'll see cannons facing the sea.

Goree Island in Senegal. 30 minutes by ferry from Dakar. Regular ferry I spent the whole day there. Good tourists attraction. Good fresh fish straight from the ocean. Historical point of slave trade.
