Discover essential information about Guinea

Guinea occupies a strategic location on the West African coast, bordered by Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. Nicknamed the "Water Tower of West Africa," the Fouta Djallon highlands give rise to many of the region's major rivers. Guinea also holds the world's largest reserves of bauxite—the primary ore of aluminium.
