📣 Traveler notes

Gambia is a small West African nation on the Gambia River, known as the 'Smiling Coast' for its beaches, wildlife, and the town of Juffureh.

  • Independence Day is celebrated on February 18.
  • Eid, a Muslim festival, is observed by nearly all Gambians, typically lasting 2 to 3 days.
  • During Eid, large-scale feasts are held, involving the slaughter of up to 250,000 animals.
  • It is customary for women to wear their finest clothing and purchase new dresses during Eid.
  • Always ask permission before photographing people, as some Gambians have specific beliefs regarding being photographed by strangers.
