Top Attractions

1. Agadez – The Desert's Historic Jewel

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Agadez was once a key stop on the Trans-Saharan trade routes. Explore the Great Mosque of Agadez, made of clay and wood in traditional Sahelian style. The city is a center of Tuareg culture, with silver jewelry, camel caravans, and storytelling still alive.

This vast protected region is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The Aïr Mountains offer rugged cliffs, ancient rock art, and volcanic formations. Below lies the Ténéré Desert, a sea of dunes and solitude, home to nomadic herders and rare wildlife. Ideal for camel trekking or 4×4 expeditions.

Niger’s capital sits along the Niger River, blending modern development with cultural charm. Visit the National Museum, Grand Mosque, and Niamey Grand Market. Sunset cruises on the river offer peaceful views and the chance to see hippos and birds.

Once the capital of Niger, Zinder is rich in Hausa architecture and heritage. Walk through the old quarter, admire traditional mud-brick homes, and feel the strong cultural identity of this historic town.

Part of a transboundary UNESCO World Heritage Site shared with Benin and Burkina Faso. Parc W is one of the best places in West Africa for safaris, home to elephants, hippos, buffalo, lions, and hundreds of bird species.
