About Banjul

Banjul, Gambia's pint-sized capital, thrums with history and riverine charm on St. Mary's Island. Wander through the kaleidoscopic Albert Market where tie-dye fabrics mingle with the aroma of freshly ground *domoda* peanut stew, then climb Arch 22 for panoramic views of the Gambia River. Discover colonial relics like the Old Fort and the haunting Door of No Return at Kunta Kinteh Island Museum, which whispers tales of the transatlantic slave trade. At dusk, join locals for *attaya* (sweet mint tea) sessions on Marina Parade as fishing pirogues glide home. Don’t miss the vibrant Janjanbureh Festival celebrations at McCarthy Square, where drummers and stilt dancers bring the city’s Creole-Aku heritage to life.
