A de jure capital, and de facto forever in the shadow of Dar es Salaam city, Dodoma is a manifesto of human determination, contrary to habit and common sense. . Designed for high officials, the buildings never witnessed their fateful decisions on the good of the country, and today the government comes to Dodoma only for the weekend, still based in Dar es Salaam . However, in spite of such a background, Dodoma is a very lively and cheerful city: there are two universities and, as a result, many restaurants, bars and disco (kst Dodoma is also a developing wine region) . In addition to the amusements, the city is saturated with spiritual food - here is one of the important Sikh temples .
