09 Visit the Ancient Ruined Cities
Niger has many secrets, and the ancient abandoned city of Djado is one of the most intriguing of them all. This fortified city in the Northwestern part of Niger was once a flourishing center of trade and agriculture. Now the ksar is nothing but a crumbling maze of corridors and alleyways slowly being swallowed up by the desert. No one knows who built the city, and thousands of cave paintings and engravings throughout the valley hold no answers. Hopefully, archaeologists will make their way to this isolated relic and uncover its mysteries. Until then, the abandoned city of Djado will continue to be a beautiful oasis surrounded by a vast wasteland.
