Dar
es Salaam - "house of Peace"
formerly Mzizima, is the largest city in Tanzania. Dar es Salaam lost its
official status as capital city to Dodoma in 1974; it remains the center of the
permanent central government bureaucracy and continues to serve as the capital
for the surrounding. Dar es Salaam is the commercial capital of the country; it
wields immense political and economical power. The atmosphere is pleasant in
the city with picturesque Harbour, exotic beaches, and historical buildings
such as state house, Ocean Road hospital and churches, as well as the most
famous sculpture of Askari Monument. It is the city renowned for its lively
nightlife
To escape the city and enjoy a change of pace, try the readily accessible beaches
to the north and south of Dar, climb into the tropical forest around Pugu Hills
or make the short hop to one of the outlying islands, where you can relax and
unwind away from the hurly burly of the centre.
