A pretty little country loved by UK tourists has been named the worst place to live in the world.

The Gambia, a small West African country has surprisingly been placed at the bottom of the list compiled by CEOWORLD Magazine report.

The Gambia is the smallest country on the African mainland, covering an area of around 11,300 square kilometres (4,363 square miles).

It is characterised by its narrow width, with the Gambia River running through the center of the country.

The small country has become more popular recently as a beach destination for European travellers.

It’s a relatively short flight, there’s no time difference, and lodging is generally very affordable.

However, The Gambia faces some socioeconomic issues such as poverty, limited access to healthcare and education in some areas, and occasional political instability.

Factors that contribute to quality of life can vary greatly depending on individual circumstances, preferences, and perspectives.

While The Gambia may face certain challenges, it’s important to recognise that it also has many positive aspects that make it a unique and special place to live for some people.

It also offers a rich cultural heritage, beautiful natural landscapes, and a warm and welcoming population.

The African country is known for its tourism industry, attracting visitors with its warm climate, beautiful beaches, and rich cultural heritage.

Popular tourist activities include birdwatching along the Gambia River, exploring nature reserves such as Abuko Nature Reserve, and visiting historical sites like James Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site associated with the transatlantic slave trade.

The population of The Gambia is diverse, consisting of various ethnic groups, with the Mandinka, Fula, Wolof, and Jola being the largest.

The country has a rich cultural heritage, with traditional music, dance, and storytelling playing significant roles in Gambian society.

Monaco has been ranked as the number one country in the world for Quality of Life in 2024. Liechtenstein and Luxembourg secured the second and third positions respectively.

Ireland is ranked fourth, followed by Switzerland in fifth, Norway in sixth, and Singapore in seventh. Burundi is placed last, behind Madagascar, Afghanistan, South Sudan, and Sierra Leone.
