Fatick is the capital of the Fatick region in western Senegal, about 150 kilometers east of the capital, Dakar, in the transition zone between the Sahelian steppe and the plains of the lower Senegal River. The city has a savannah climate with distinct dry and rainy seasons, and agriculture is the mainstay of the local economy, with peanuts, millet and maize being the main crops grown. Fatick is known for its rich traditional handicrafts, especially leatherwork and weaving, and retains a strong Wolof cultural tradition, attracting many visitors to its annual "Fatick Cultural Festival". As an important inland city in Senegal, Fatick not only connects the neighboring regions for agricultural trade, but also serves as an important gateway for exploring west-central Senegal due to its unique natural landscape and cultural heritage.
