Second-hand Market, Lumo
📖 Banjul's Royal Albert Market is the pulsating heart of the city's reseller scene, a vibrant 'lumo' where daily life and commerce intertwine. Resellers often discover unique treasures among its labyrinthine alleys, from colorful batik and tie-dye fabrics to intricately carved wooden sculptures, traditional Djembe drums, and handcrafted silver jewelry. Beyond the dedicated craft sections, the market also offers a diverse array of textiles, clothing, and even second-hand goods, providing ample opportunity for those with a keen eye. An insider tip for resellers: be prepared to haggle respectfully, as bargaining is an integral part of the Gambian trading culture, and a good negotiation can yield excellent finds.
