NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Dar es Salaam Region

Dar-es-salaam is the biggest city in Tanzania. It was the former capital city. Although Dodoma is the current capital of Tanzania, Dar-es-salaam holds the status of being its Commerical Capital.It is located in the Eastern Coast and is the main port of the Country. It name "Dar-es-salaam" comes from Arabic language, meaning "heaven of peace".

To most travellers, Dar es Salaam is just a convenient port of call on the way to more exotic destinations of Zanzibar, the game parks, Pemba or Mafia Islands. This is a great pity, because “Dar”, as it is affectionately called by aficionados of the city, is a fascinating rabbit warren of a tropical port, often surprising the unwary wanderer with scenes of breathtaking beauty. While Dodoma has been (somewhat absurdly) appointed as the new capital of Tanzania, Dar is the real capital, a hustling, bustling seaport that straddles some of the most important sea routes on earth.

Dar es Salaam is one of Tanzania's 26 administrative regions. The regional capital is Dar es Salaam. Image File history File links Map of Tanzania showing Dar es Salaam Region; created with the GIMP.
