Serekunda, the largest city and economic center of The Gambia, is located about 15 kilometers east of the capital, Banjul, on the plains along the River Gon, the most densely populated area in the country. As an important hub of commerce in West Africa, the city is a mix of traditional markets and modern commercial facilities, with the Saracounda Market as the centerpiece, trading local handicrafts, agricultural products and imported goods, and attracting traders from neighboring countries. The city is a multicultural blend of Gambian culture, with a predominantly Mandingo and Fulani population, where traditional music and crafts are passed on. Conveniently located near Wyndum International Airport, it is a gateway for travelers to explore The Gambia, combining urban dynamism with rural charm, showcasing West Africa's unique cultural attractions.
