Niger Cheap Hotels

Niger is an arid, landlocked West African country with a population of 12 million. The land is mostly desert plains and dunes, with rolling savanna in the southeast. Agadez is the center of the ongoing Tuareg rebellion (as of June 2009) and travel to the city and surrounding region is dangerous and discouraged. It is historically a mecca of trade along trans-Saharan trade routes for over five centuries, honor to a magnificent palace and several mosques and a gateway to the nearby Air Mountains. Ayorou is along a picturesque section of the River Niger with one of Niger's best markets and starting point for river trips to Gaya. Zinder is the cultural capital of Niger, this Peul-Hausa city has perhaps the most colorful craft markets (pottery & tanning are noteworthy local specialties) as well as a noteworthy regional museum and sultan's palace. Balleyara Market: Two hours from Niamey, this is one of West Africa's largest animal markets, plus a colorful array of other traditional market and artisanal goods (Sundays). By plane, there are two international airports - in Niamey and Agadez. (Pause for advertisement): Book deals on hotels in the best locations at your travel destinations. Make hotel reservations.

Air France is the only major carrier with direct flights from outside of Africa, but a regional airline, Point Air Niger flies weekly between France and Niamey. There are a few private companies and one mission aviation group (SIMAir) that do charter flights from Niamey in small planes. There are no railways in Niger. Of the 10,000 km of highways over 2000 km is paved and efforts are being made to improve some of the sections that have previously been in repair. One can travel from Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso all the way to Diffa, near Lake Chad on roads in decent to tolerable condition. The Nigerien government has recently set up a bus service along the major routes of the country. While taking cars is exciting and interesting, they are dangerous, extremely hot, and more expensive. There is almost no possibility to rent a car in usual sense, although in 2005 a Hertz franchise came to Niamey and rents Toyota RAV4s. The official language in Niger is French, though very few people speak it outside Niamey, and even there do not expect a high level conversation with the traders at the markets.
