The guide links to transport operators for current stations, fares and
schedules rather than repeating older community listings or treating a
planned service extension as operational. Museum programs, island crossings,
beach conditions and access to the Almadies shoreline should be checked locally.

Map areas
The thirteen mainland neighborhoods and Gorée outline are original Worldly
schematic learning areas. Mainland polygons partition a hand-drawn peninsula
envelope around representative neighborhood anchors. Coastlines and offshore
coverage are approximate. Ngor's learning area includes its nearby island;
Gorée is presented in a separate offshore round.
These are not official communes, administrative boundaries, property limits
or a map of the whole Dakar metropolitan area. Some named areas are combined
for visitor orientation. Original polygons are released under CC0 1.0:

Rebuild: scripts/build-dakar-map.mjs

Sight pins
All fifteen coordinates follow Wikivoyage's Dakar See and Do listings in the
revision above. Pins identify visitor stops rather than surveyed entrances.
The Essential and Worth a detour priorities are Worldly's editorial choices.

Photographs
Each photograph links to its Wikimedia Commons file page with the photographer
and individual license displayed beside it. Those licenses apply independently
of the guide text and map polygons. Images are displayed as cropped banners;
full files and metadata are available from the credited Commons pages.
