Worth agreeing on before you meet
Historical Sensitivity
Gorée is a memorial site. The House of Slaves and the Door of No Return are not tourist attractions — they are places of profound historical significance. Visit with gravity, silence, and respect. Photography is permitted but should be done thoughtfully.
Respect the Community
Gorée is home to 1,500 people. Treat the island as a living neighbourhood, not a museum. Respect residents' privacy, ask before photographing homes, and remember that you are a guest in someone's community.
Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Île de Gorée travel guide.
