Continue with a walk through the local markets in Thiès city center. Shop for fabrics, crafts, and everyday Senegalese goods, interact with local vendors, and experience daily life.

Alternatively, stay in the city and walk through Thiès neighborhoods, visit artisan workshops and small galleries, and discover local street art and craft centers.
In the evening, take a sunset walk through calm residential areas, enjoy local tea (attaya) with residents, and visit small cafés or rooftop viewpoints. End your day with a traditional Senegalese meal, such as thieboudienne or yassa, in a family-style restaurant and experience local hospitality.
