Douala
is the
largest
port in
West
Africa
and the
unofficial
economic
capital
of the
Cameroon.
With
1,448,300
people,
it is
the
largest
city in
the
country
and has
a richly
diverse
population
that
represents
more
than 130
ethnic
groups.
Douala
was
actually
named
after a
17th
century
tribe
that
settled
in the
coastal
area of
Cameroon.
Located
on an
estuary
of the
River
Wouri,
the city
is a
delightful
mosaic
of
colorful
markets,
historic
churches
and
museums.
An
equatorial
forest
on
Douala's
outskirts
serves
as a
sanctuary
for
dozens
of
species
of
birds. Douala
is
the
commercial
capital
of the
country
with its
port on
the Gulf
of
Guinea
and the
Atlantic
Ocean.
Basically,
all the
business
and
money
pass
through
hands,
and all
the
deals
happen,
in
Douala.
Douala
is as
damp and
sweaty
as a
turkish
sauna.
