Kotu Craft Market | My Gambia | My Magazine

Among the oldest craft markets in The Gambia is the Kotu craft market, which opened in 1978. A craft market is an idyllic place for art lovers and those who appreciate African handy crafts. Kotu Market is also known to be the first craft market in the tourist area, located on the Kotu layout next to the famous Bungalow Beach Hotel.

When coming to The Gambia, ensure you have additional space for your souvenirs in your suitcase and visit the Kotu Craft Market for all your aesthetic cravings. The waterfront market is where many local artists work and make their livelihoods, using their talent and skills to design, carve and make different artisanal products. Traditional masks, animal figures, African lady statues, bowls, and paintings are some artwork you will see when you walk into the green and white painted joint workspace.
