Great Value Holidays to The Gambia

Holidays in The Gambia are very competitively priced compared to other destinations. Sitting outside of the Eurozone The Gambia is also unaffected by the downturn of sterling versus the Euro. In fact, the Dalasi exchange rate is virtually the same as it was about two years ago!

Ever wondered how much things cost in The Gambia? This handy comparison table should give you some useful pointers.
