Dear readers!

Welcome to our last edition of the year.

2022 is slowly coming to an end. We are ready to enjoy the last celebrations of the festive season and then step into the new year with optimism, euphoria and determination to welcome travellers from the whole world to our magical destination.

With the help of our loyal and new partners, we will strive to inspire with hospitality and a high standard of service. The Gambia is the destination of sun and friendly people. Its cultures and traditions are intriguing and inviting. And we will continue to explore them for you until you decide to experience them with us.

In December's issue, we invite you to watch our latest interview with one of the most passionate hoteliers in The Gambia, Malleh Sallah and the interview with musical artist Pascal Abuk Na Njaku. Read our monthly columns and explore the Bakau craft market and Kachikally with us. Be amazed by the hospitality of Kololi Beach Resort Villas and Apartments, Sun Beach Resort and Hotel and Riyan Apartments. Learn about the benefits of living in a gated community and get ideas for the last festive decoration and gift shopping in Toy Box and Gifts R Us shop. Read about festive traditions in The Gambia and learn how to make fudan and woven scarves. For all seeking meaningful travel, there are many volunteering opportunities in various fields of interest.

Don't miss our In Focus section to know what is new, what is happening right now and which events you should not miss. And re-read some of our best articles from previous issues.

My Gambia wishes you a happy celebration wherever you are. We hope the year 2022 will leave wonderful memories with you. And we invite you to make new ones in 2023 with us. Don't let your travel bug fall asleep. Explore, discover, learn and experience new things. We wish you a happy new year!

My Gambia Team
