Foundiougne department

Foundiougne is a main hub on the Sine-Saloum river in the Fatick region of Senegal.

A ferry (connecting Foundiougne to the main road leading to Fatick) crosses the river at set times throughout the day transporting locals and tourists alike.

Services that can be found include a post office, hospital, grocery stores, a pharmacy, restaurants, an internet cafe, and hotels.

At the weekly Luma, residents can purchase anything that they might require, ranging from plastic buckets to cooking pots to fabric to sandals to western clothing.

It is an important center for residents of nearby villages, who travel to Foundiougne often on horse-drawn chariots.
