About Benin

Benin, officially the Republic of Benin (French: République du Bénin), formerly known as Dahomey until 1975 and later as the People’s Republic of Benin (1975–1990), is a country located in western Africa. It forms a narrow stretch of territory extending northward for approximately 420 miles (675 kilometers) from the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean—where it has a 75-mile seacoast—up to the Niger River, which marks part of Benin’s northern border with Niger. For those moving from Dubai to Benin, it’s important to understand the country’s geographical and historical context for a smoother transition. Benin shares its borders with Burkina Faso to the northwest, Nigeria to the east, and Togo to the west. While Porto-Novo is the official capital, Cotonou is the largest city and serves as the country’s main port and de facto administrative capital.

Before colonization, the area now known as Benin was home to several powerful and independent kingdoms, including various Bariba kingdoms in the north and the kingdoms of Porto-Novo and Dahomey in the south. The name “Dahomey” originates from the Fon language phrase “Dan-ho-me,” meaning “on the belly of Dan,” referencing a rival king whose grave became the foundation of the Dahomey royal palace. In the late 19th century, French colonizers extended their influence inland from the coast, eventually naming the colony after the defeated Dahomey kingdom. Today’s name, Benin, is derived from the Bight of Benin, the large bay off the country’s southern coastline. Understanding the nation’s rich history and cultural complexity can be incredibly helpful when moving from Dubai to Benin, whether for personal or business reasons. Anyone considering moving from Dubai to Benin should be aware of these unique cultural and historical aspects to better integrate and adapt to life in the country.
