Koriteh is one of the most joyful celebrations in The Gambia — a time when families gather, tables are filled with delicious food and communities come together after the holy month of Ramadan.

This year, Bakadaji Hotel is inviting Gambians, expats and the diaspora to celebrate the occasion in a special way with a festive Koriteh offer designed especially for residents.

Starting from the first day of Koriteh, the hotel launches Salibo Week, a festive promotion combining luxury hospitality with the warm spirit of the holiday. The offer includes a special Koriteh menu and 1 soft drink, allowing guests to enjoy the celebrations without the stress of cooking or organising gatherings at home. An Ice Cream Station* will also be available for those who want to add a sweet touch to the celebration.

As part of the celebration, guests will also be able to enjoy a special Koriteh Photo Booth, where families and friends can capture memorable moments in their beautiful traditional outfits. It is the perfect opportunity to preserve festive memories while dressed in colourful Koriteh attire.

All these for just 1,000 GMD per person!

For those looking to extend the celebration, Bakadaji Hotel also offers a special Weekend Escape package. Guests can enjoy a relaxing stay with prices starting from 8,000 GMD per couple for bed & breakfast, or 14,000 GMD per couple for a full-board experience — perfect for celebrating upcoming Koriteh, Easter or Workers’ Day in comfort and style.

*Ice cream station at additional cost

The hotel also announced the big comeback of its popular Gambian Night, which will now take place every Friday from 3rd of April. These evenings celebrate the richness of Gambian culture through music, traditional clothing, local cuisine, cultural performances and vibrant decoration. Guests can enjoy authentic Gambian dishes while experiencing the rhythms, colours and traditions that make the country’s culture so unique.

Visitors often praise Bakadaji Hotel for its friendly service, relaxed atmosphere and modern comfort, making it a favourite place for both travellers and residents looking for a pleasant stay or a lively cultural evening.

With Koriteh celebrations, cultural evenings and a welcoming atmosphere, Bakadaji Hotel offers a perfect place to celebrate, reconnect and experience the beauty of Gambian hospitality.
