I'd never considered The Gambia before when thinking about winter sun holidays but it was the perfect choice

Sitting outside the Eurozone The Gambia is an increasingly attractive destination in light of the recent drop in sterling. The Gambia's currency is the Dalasi, with £1 Sterling buying around 40 Dalasi (April 2009), this is little change from what the exchange rate was 2 years ago.

As with all currencies, the Dalasi rate to the Pound can fluctuate. Dalasi are available in the UK but you will get a better exchange rate in The Gambia.

Please visit www.xe.com to receive the current rate.

Please note, Euros are also accepted in the Gambia and can be exchanged at hotel receptions.

The largest note that is available is the D100 and the smallest is D5 - it is always worth trying to keep your smaller denominations as many stall traders will not have enough small notes for change if you pay with a larger note.

Although some restaurants and hotels in The Gambia do accept credit cards, it is not wise to rely on them. Debit cards are still more restricted. And Solo and Switch cards are not accepted. We recommend taking travellers cheques.
