DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY WURREY?

Wurrey (Wari or Wuri) or Beans is a game that encourages you to plan ahead. In fact, we could call it African chess. It is one of the oldest games in the world, and it has been played for thousands of years, using different things to create a playing surface.

The key point is to create 12 holes or cups used as houses for the two opponents. You would also need stones, beans or any other small object, preferably something of a round shape that you can use as moving figures.

In the olden days, the simplest way to create this board game was to dig small holes in the ground and find stones to fit in. Today, in The Gambia, the game is in the shape of a wooden case with hollowed-out cups, six on each side. The figures used are dried beans of the klukluba tree.

ATTAYA, A TASTE OF SOCIAL LIFE

When you visit The Gambia, tasting Attaya is a must. This isn’t just a tea; it’s a beloved tradition that brings people together.

Brewing and drinking Attaya is a daily ritual for many Gambians, deeply embedded in their cultural life. The preparation process, which takes longer than typical tea-making, offers the perfect opportunity to engage with friends and locals. As an Attaya master brews the tea, you can chat about everything from football and wrestling to politics and community news.

Come and experience Attaya for yourself. It's a warm, inviting part of Gambian culture you’ll love to be a part of! You will enjoy a rich blend of flavours and social interaction that highlights the essence of local life.
