Dar es Salaam: Tanzania's Largest City in East Africa

Dar es Salaam, a major city and commercial port on Tanzania’s Indian Ocean coast, grew from a fishing village. One of East Africa's busiest ports, it is Tanzania's largest city and commercial center. A lively waterfront city blending African, Indian, and Arab influences, Dar es Salaam creates a unique urban culture. Despite chaotic sprawl in recent decades, it still has plenty of charm.
