- Niger has the stark splendour of the Air Mountains in the north, with Neolithic rock art and beautiful oasis towns. Dinosaur graveyards are found in the dunes of the Tenere Desert. The South has the Sultanate of Zinder and the ancient trans-Saharan trade route town of Agadez. Niger is mostly hot and dry, so best visiting months would be during winters when the temperatures are much cooler.
- Niger mostly comes in places not to visit for safety reasons but the people who have visited here find it amazing with ancient caravan cities around Sahara desert and warm and generous locals. There have been many attacks against foreigners and the threat of kidnapping is also high. So take advisory from the Indian Embassy, before making an itinerary. There could be language issues while conversing to locals as they mostly speak French or local languages like Hausa, Djerma, Fulfulde, and Tamashek.
- Niger’s primary international airport is DioriHamani International Airport in Niamey. It is also the country’s only international airport. There are no direct flights from India to Niger. For a connecting flight, one can see flights by Air France, Qatar Airways, Air Algerie, Ethiopian Airlines, and Air India. Local commuting in Niger can be done by taxis and bush taxis.
- Niger is an adventure lover’s dream with ancient desert empires remnants and wilderness. The vast desert landscape and rocky Air Mountains, entice travellers. The Neolithic giraffe carvings at the Dabous are enough to astound anyone. The charming towns of Ayorou and Koure are all must visit.
- Agadez is a world heritage site and had once been part of the famous trans-Saharan trade route. Today it is a famous market town and a famous tourist place due to mud-brick Agadez Grand Mosque. Zinder, an ancient city of Niger, is famous for the Sultan’s palace.
- Niamey, the capital city is the liveliest city of Niger. It has the most options for shopping, sightseeing and entertainment. Famous sightseeing places here are MuseeNationale and Zoo, Grande Mosquee, Cathedral Maorey, and Niamey Grand Market.
- Wildlife safari in Niger is a must. W National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to majestic animals like leopards, lions, cheetahs, water buffalos, hippos and baboons.
- Niger is mostly a rural area, so their food habits are mostly around the livestock they raise. Traditional cuisine is very basic and is based around rice and millet. Some of the food specialities of Niger include Shinkafa, Tattabara, Deguidegui, Brochettes, Laban, Dodo, and Saalat. Tuareg tea is very famous and extremely rewarding in the heat. Biere Niger is the light alcoholic drink available everywhere. One can try the palm wine to experience the stronger alcoholic brew of Niger.
- The locals of Niger are skilled artisans. Shopping for local products like leather goods, silver jewellery, hand-woven blankets, and straw mats is very popular. There is a lot of scope of bargaining and best products can be found in rural areas.
