Dar Es Salaam - Capital city of Tanzania?

Postcard

The City of Dar es Salaam (meaning “The abode of peace") is the largest city in Tanzania. In 1974 Dar es Salaam lost its official status as capital city to Dodoma, where the country's parliament and some government offices are located.

 

So Dodoma is the "official" capital, but many think and feel Dar Es Salaam is still the capital of Tanzania.

Dhow is the generic name of a number of traditional sailing vessels with one or more masts with lateen sails used in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean region.
