The market in the biggest city of The Gambia is an experience in itself. On this market you can literally buy anything: from real fake Rolex watches to second-hand jerrycans and from a pair of slippers to a pair of goats.

At this market the locals do their grocery shopping and the best thing to do, after you have done your shopping, is to just sit alongside the road and watch the people go by.

Don’t be surprised if the Gambians around you negotiate a sale with wild gestures and in a loud tone of voice. Or when a recently purchased goat is loaded into a taxi.
