Gambia


Grolier map

GAMBIA is a relatively tiny, horizontally-skinny country located in West Africa. Senegal is the only bordering country, surrounding Gambia on three sides. The western coast of Gambia borders the Atlantic Ocean. The capital city is Banjul, which is not the most-populated city. While Banjul's metropolitan area exceeds 300,000 residents, the city limits has a population of about 34,500. Serre Kunda boasts over 300,000 residents, followed by Brikama (~78,000) and Bakau (~43,000). Gambia's currency is the Gambian Dalasi, and its ISO 4217 currency code is GMD.
