Legendary Agadez

by Bonobo2005

Agadez is a town situated in the middle of nowhere on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Tourism has become the main source of income here during the last few decennia. It’s not the camel caravans that pass here anymore, but the Sahara tourists coming from Algeria with well-prepared Landcruisers or so called overland trucks. They use Agadez as a base for tours in the Ténéré Desert and the Aïr Mountains with its attractive oases.Still, while the most interesting places are outside Agadez, the town is reasonably fascinating in its own. The main market, the Old Quarter, the ancient clay mosque; if you consider the remoteness of Agadez and the barren land that surrounds it, it’s really incredible to witness the way people survived here for ages. Besides, Agadez has very good tourist facilities.check out my Agadez page for more

Southern Niger

by seratonin

It`s well worth to visit the southern part of Niger too. There you can`t find the stunnung desert scenes like in the north, as the area is more humid. But you will stumble acoss some nice willages like Dogondoutchi ao the pic and you will meet nice people like probably everywhere within NIger.

To visit Niger without...

To visit Niger without reaching Agadez and the edge of the Sahara beyond would be a shame. Beautiful country. Wonderful people. The nomadic Tuareg are faxcinating: Tall, proud, dignified; they epitomize the spirit of nomadic peoples everywhere in making this harsh land their own. An absolutely life-changing experience! My fondest memory of Niger is of sleeping in the dunes of the Tenere Desert (a part of the southern Sahara) and watching a sky full of the more stars than I ever would have believed. The peace and tranquility and other-worldliness of the desert and of my Tuareg companions left me forever changed.

Travel to the Air Massif and Tenere Desert. The Tenere is known for some of the most beautiful sand dunes in the Sahara. You'll need about 8 days and you'll spend most of the time camping. Being alone on sand dunes of 5 - 600-- feet, no one in sight.
