Introduction:
The Gambia, officially the Republic of The Gambia, is a small country in West Africa. It is the smallest country on mainland Africa, with a total area of just over 10,000 square kilometers. The Gambia is bordered by Senegal to the north, east, and south, and by the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The country's coastline is only 80 kilometers long, making it one of the smallest coastlines in Africa.
The Gambia is a low-lying country, with the majority of its land lying below sea level. The country's highest point is only 53 meters above sea level. The Gambia River, which flows through the center of the country, is the dominant geographical feature. The river is navigable for over 200 kilometers, and it provides a vital source of transportation and irrigation for the country.
The Gambia has a tropical climate, with two distinct seasons: a dry season from November to May and a rainy season from June to October. The average temperature during the dry season is around 25 degrees Celsius, while the average temperature during the rainy season is around 30 degrees Celsius. The country receives an average of 1,000 millimeters of rainfall per year, most of which falls during the rainy season.
The Gambia is a poor country, with a GDP per capita of just over $2,000. The country's economy is heavily dependent on agriculture, with groundnuts being the main cash crop. Tourism is also an important industry, and the country has a number of beautiful beaches and historical sites.
The Gambia is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, and the Commonwealth of Nations.
