Business Guide
All
businesses keep standard office hours in Gambia, most shops and offices
start business at 8 am and finish business at 5 pm with the government
and tourist offices keeping the same timings.
Gambia is
predominantly Muslim, and therefore it is conservative in dress and
conduct. Lightweight suits are best suited to business meetings. Women
will find it more comfortable in trouser suits than skirts. During the
month of Ramadan, usually in November-December, Muslims observe a
month’s fasting and do not eat in the daytime. Public restrictions on
eating, drinking and smoking are in force and there may be alterations
in business timings. It is suggested that you enquire about the changed
timings when you are making your appointments for meeting officials or
business people.
