CONTINENT'S PRIDE: These Global Standard Cities Are The Most Beautiful In Africa

Africa has several promising cities which have well gone on to compete amongst some of the most advanced cities around the world. The dark continent has proven to the world that it houses some of the world’s most impressive sights and experiences.

Here are five cities in the African continent that portray that beauty.

1. Luanda, Angola

Luanda is the capital of Africa’s third-largest oil producer and is home to the nation’s main seaport and administrative centre.

Its government is investing heavily in making Luanda more aesthetically pleasing; by building large social housing high rises to replace slums, performing extensive repaving, the construction of several highways and a large new airport currently being constructed outside of town projected to open in 2019.

2. Johannesburg, South Africa

Johannesburg is the largest and wealthiest city in South Africa. Filled with life, enthusiasm and an amazing culture, it is no wonder that it is the tourist’s paradise.

3. Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

The major city for business and government, Dar Es Salaam is the largest and richest city in Tanzania.

4. Nairobi, Kenya

Nairobi and its outskirts offer a spellbinding landscape to its visitors. Home to several business opportunities and tourism, Addis Ababa is the choicest destination for travel agents as well as tourists worldwide.

5. Marrakech, Morocco

Marrakech is one of the most exotic places in the world, with lots of exciting things to do and see.

Its red-coloured buildings, beautiful oriental palaces and mosques, and vibrant local markets are what make Marrakech the most enchanting city in Africa, undoubtedly.

This cultural oasis nestled amidst the red sands of the desert is often called the Red City, the Pink City or the City of Roses.

6. Cape Town, South Africa

Located at the foot of Table Mountain, the picturesque view that the city offers on a clear and sunny day is hard to describe in words. It is also not far from the famous Cape of Good Hope.

7. Tunis, Tunisia

Home to modern office buildings in narrow streets with whitewashed one or two-storey houses with blue windows and doors, Tunis will have you reminiscing about the islands of Greece or Andalusia in Spain.

8. Abuja, Nigeria

Abuja is home to neat and wide roads, well-planned layouts, effective and cheap public transportation, beautiful and exotic private and government buildings as well as the grandest mosque in Nigeria. Aesthetically pleasant, serene and suburban nature while also offering many activities, are just some of the reasons why Abuja is on our list.
