Niger is located in West Africa, at the heart of the Sahel, between the Sahara Desert and the savannas, with no coastline. Its vast deserts and river oases along the Niger River shape the life and culture of this predominantly nomadic society. The capital city, Niamey, serves as the administrative and cultural center.
Niger is known for the rich traditions of the Tuareg people, the “blue men of the desert,” and for historic cities like Agadez.
