Visit Wadi Fira Region


Wadi Fira is a region in the east of Chad, located on the edge of the Sahara desert. With its dry climate and diverse terrain, it's a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts looking for an off-the-beaten path adventure. Popular activities include hiking, mountain biking, and camping in some of the most spectacular landscapes in Chad.

The Tibesti Mountains are one of Wadi Fira's most iconic landmarks with their snow-capped peaks and rugged beauty. Tourists can explore local oasis towns or take a guided tour to see more remote sites like Goudourville Rock Art Sites with ancient paintings by Saharan nomads.

Another major tourist attraction is Ennedi Plateau where you can explore stunning sandstone gorges, rock formations, caves with prehistoric rock art carvings and traditional Saharan villages. It's home to some unique species such as Barbary sheep, Dorcas gazelle and addax antelope - making it perfect for wildlife safaris too!

For those interested in history Wadi Fira has plenty to offer as well - most notably being home to Tombalbaye's Palace which was built by former President Francois Tombalbaye back in 1965 as part of his efforts to create African unity between countries during this time period.
