Conakry, the capital and largest city of Guinea, is situated on Tombo Island and the Camayenne Peninsula. With a population estimated around two million, it represents a significant portion of the country's total population. Founded by the French in 1884, Conakry flourished as an export port, particularly after the railway to Kankan opened up the interior for groundnut exports.

The city boasts several attractions, including the impressive Conakry Grand Mosque, a testament to Islamic architecture and cultural heritage. The National Museum offers insights into Guinea's diverse tribal groups.
