Gambia Holiday and Tourist Guide

Gambian Craft Markets and Shopping

Shops and Markets in The Gambia

ST MARY'S FOOD & WINE at Cape Point and Kotu sells just about everything from food to televisions. At the Kotu branch there is a Bureau de Change next door.

PAUL MARON'S in Bakau, close to the African Village Hotel, where you can buy your food, a refrigerator or a moped.

BAKAU MARKET has all the fruit, and most of the vegetables, that you would expect to find in Europe.

FRUIT SELLERS. You will find that every tourist hotel has a row of fruit sellers, either outside of the hotel, or on the beach. The fruit is a little more expensive than in the market, but one sale could put food on the table that evening. Best value, especially on the beach, is to order a fruit salad which will be brought to you on a plate. Cheap and Delicious.

KAIRABA AVENUE. From Fajara all the way to Serekunda, supermarkets can be found at regular intervals. They sell much the same things, but the prices can differ.

SEREKUNDA MARKET. Well worth a visit. This is the market where you may find the one item that you never expected to find, shoes, leather sandals, beach wear etc.

BANJUL. The capital has just about everything. Markets, shops, supermarkets, craft markets, cafes, restaurants, heat, dust etc. But worth a visit.

CRAFT MARKETS. Every hotel must have one, or so it seems. If you see one, which you will, have a look round. There will not be too much pressure put on you to buy, and if you want to leave, just say, "maybe later".
