Niger

The Aïr Massif and the Ténéré desert, with dunes among the highest in the Sahara, define a rarely explored Tuareg nomadic territory. Atlas Lume suggests reading Niger through its landscapes, neighbourhoods, transport and living culture, with the context needed to plan with judgement rather than collect places.

Niamey works as a practical reference point, but every route should adapt to distances and season. The main language is French, the currency is Franco CFA de África Occidental and the generally recommended time to go is November to February.
