Gambia operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+0). The country does not observe daylight saving time, so the offset remains constant throughout the year.
All of Gambia follows the same timezone. Major cities including Banjul, Serekunda, and Brikama all observe GMT. Gambia is one of the smallest countries in Africa, stretching along the Gambia River and almost entirely surrounded by Senegal.
Gambia is the smallest country on mainland Africa. The country is shaped like a narrow strip following the Gambia River for about 450 km, never more than 50 km wide. Despite its size, it's known as "The Smiling Coast of Africa" for its hospitality.
