Information about Dar es Salaam
Dar es Salaam city is situated on a bay of the Indian Ocean. The former capital of Tanzania, it is the country’s largest city and its communications, and economic center. The major industries produce foods and beverages, oil, textiles, clothing, shoes, cement, aluminum products, and pharmaceuticals. Although it has limited access to the sea, Dar- es-Salaam is Tanzania’s main port; exports include cotton, sisal, coffee, diamonds, and hides. The port can handle oceangoing vessels, but dhows still carry some goods bound for coastal African and SW Asian ports. A railroad runs from Dar-es- Salaam to Kigoma, on Lake Tanganyika, and the Great Uhuru (Tazara) Railway links Dar – es- Salaam with the Zambian Copper belt.
