This week, the Expat Mag is offering you a special dossier. Our team has attempted to anticipate the new expatriation trends imposed on us by the COVID-19 crisis. Julien, the founder of 天美麻豆, gives us an insight of what could be the changes over the next few months...

Saint-Louis, known as Ndar in Wolof, was the Senegalese capital city until 1957. Having been founded by the French in 1659, its strategic location on an island in the Senegal River estuary adjacent to the Atlantic, helped the city grow into a major trade hub.

Located 70 km from Dakar, Thi猫s is Senegal's third-largest urban centre with an estimated 765,000 people. Known as the 鈥榡unction' of Senegal, it is perfectly situated at the apex of three of the country's main roads, including the new motorways to Dakar and Touba, and national routes to the south-east and Saint-Louis. As a result, Thi猫s is a very active city with many companies, especially Senegalese companies, choosing to set up offices there.

Sprawled across the southern banks of the Casamance river, life flows in Ziguinchor much like the water that gently ambles alongside. Wide-open streets, palm trees and low-rise buildings mark out the blueprint of this relaxed capital, which is becoming increasingly popular among expats thanks to the region's warmer climate and greener surroundings.

The former capital of Senegal and French West Africa, Saint-Louis was founded by the French in 1659. Located on an island in the Senegal River estuary, its unique location enabled ships from the Atlantic to travel to its ports and made it one of the principal West African trading hubs in the 17th-20th centuries.

Thi猫s is the name of the region outside of Dakar with its largest city, also called Thi猫s, the third-largest urban centre in Senegal with an estimated 765,000 people. Located 70km from Dakar and 30km from the new Blaise Diagne International Airport, Thi猫s is a well-connected city that is known as the 鈥榡unction' of Senegal because of its road links to Saint-Louis, Touba (via a new motorway), Kaolack, Tambacounda and Mali. As a result, Thi猫s is a very dynamic city, offering many career opportunities to foreigners wishing to settle there, especially those involved with transporting goods across the country.

With 570,000 people, Kaolack is the fifth largest city in Senegal. Bustling and vibrant, Kaolack is situated on the main route from Dakar to the south-eastern regions of Senegal (Tambacounda, K茅d茅gou) and the Guinean and Malian borders. As such, Kaolack was historically a major trading station for produce from these regions, such as peanuts - Senegal's main export crop. This trading hub was enhanced by the fact that Kaolack is located on the banks of a major river, the Saloum, which flows out into the Atlantic via the Sine-Saloum delta, one of Senegal's seven UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Ziguinchor is the capital of Casamance, the southern Senegalese region wedged between The Gambia to the north and Guinea-Bissau to the south. Culturally, ethnically and geographically, Casamance (including Ziguinchor) is a world away from the rest of Senegal. Lying in the sub-tropics, Ziguinchor experiences warmer and wetter weather, while Basse-Casamance, where Ziguinchor is located, is the only Christian majority region in the country.

Senegal is a democratic, multi-party republic in West Africa. Its capital, Dakar, is the westernmost city of mainland Africa, located on the Cap-Vert peninsula, which juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. Senegal covers a land area of 197,000 square kilometres, which straddles two climate zones: the semi-arid Sahelian north and the sub-tropical south.
