It's a beautiful place to be, at some point I was moody, looking at how people were being treated, history is a beautiful thing to help us remember a lot.

Very humbling experience of historic slave trade in West Africa .Must visit for Dakar. No words can describe the experience. The door of no return was the most touching. Ask me how did I get there?

We enjoyed our time here learning about the slave trade. We didn't realize the Portuguese traders to Brazil were responsible for 45% of the slaves taken from Africa. Also, we expected the door of no return to be historical, but it is actually an artistic expression for the concept of slavery and Goreé as the last place where these slaves were held in Africa before they were shipped abroad as cargo. A very interesting museum nonetheless. All signs in the museum are in French or English.

The exhibition is really interesting and the place itself is kept in really good conditions. The audio guides that you can find on the QR codes are currently not working. I felt really sad and guilty visiting, walking those rooms and knowing how many people died because of white colonialism. I felt many visitors didn’t really respect the place, too many visitors at the same time, very crowded, people talking too loud, people taking selfies… didn’t like the atmosphere at all. Ticket is 1500 cfa. Worth a visit, but they should have stricter rules for visitors.

the house of Slaves was an experience to experience. being from African decent, it was truly humbling to be in a place where my ancestors were held captive for over 300+ years. To stand in those tiny rooms , to stand at the “Door of no return” gave me chills. this was heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. I am glad it was preserved so the WORLD can see what we went throw for decades and still continues til this day . i HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. the only reason for the 4 stars is because it was smaller than i thought. but it was still very amazing
