Dar es Salaam is the largest city and commercial capital of Tanzania, with a population of around 5.4 million in the city and well over 7 million in its wider region, making it one of the fastest-growing cities in Africa. Although Dodoma is the official national capital, Dar es Salaam remains the country's economic engine, principal port, and seat of most government ministries and foreign missions. The city observes East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3) year-round with no daylight saving. Its Indian Ocean harbour handles the bulk of Tanzania's seaborne trade and serves as a transit gateway for landlocked neighbours including Zambia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Malawi. The name derives from Arabic and is commonly translated as 'haven of peace,' reflecting the city's 19th-century origins as a coastal settlement developed under the Sultanate of Zanzibar.
