Geographically, The Gambia is the smallest country in continental Africa;[b] it is surrounded by Senegal on all sides except for the western part, which is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean.[9] Its territory is on both sides of the lower reaches of the Gambia River, which flows through the centre of the country and empties into the Atlantic. The national namesake river demarcates the elongated shape of the country, which has an area of 11,300 square kilometres (4,400 sq mi) and a population of 2,468,569 people in 2024.[4] The capital city is Banjul, which has the most extensive metropolitan area in the country.[10] The second and third-largest cities are Serekunda and Brikama.[11]
