  5. Centre Culturel Oumara Ganda

    You may be lucky enough to take in a traditional wrestling match at the Centre Culturel Oumara Ganda. We say lucky because they're quite the spectacle and only happen a handful of times a year. So keep your ear to the ground and you may just get - you guessed it - lucky!

  8. Guiguinya

    Belting out African and European beats, this massive place is usually packed with locals (and the odd prostitute). Tear it up beneath the strobing red lights or stick your feet in the sand and chill out under the stars and trees in the courtyard.

  10. Hôtel du Sahel

    If you can get over the number of prostitutes and the glowing Christmas tree light-interior, this club (next to 2005) can be quite fun. There's a pool table and the music ranges from Arabic to Western.
