Pa-Pierre,

I hate to say, it depends! I do not know any official tax, levy or 

tariff for transiting Dakar airport. However some agents at the airport 

are "Degerr Fit". I have witnessed a few incidences when travelers 

(disproportionately from the coast ) have been asked to pay up for 

having US Dollars, cellphones and other nifty gadgets.  Often the choice 

is drop a few cents or get some time wasted between arrival and departure.

Things may not be the same if you are disembarking in Yoff just to 

travel by land to The Gambia. In that case you may need some convincing 

that you are indeed getting to Amdalai and not Karang.

Things that work: a charming smile;old-fashioned "gran sa waa"; playing 

like the local. A big no no: showing-off you are a Gambian "smarty-pant".

ps. I traveled through Dakar numerous times over the last 3 years.Only 

once, I was asked to pay up.  I was let go when the brother realized 

that I am no "Semester" with a bag of dollars. All other times the 

officials were VERY polite and professional.
