Visit Tahoua


The Tahoua region of Niger is a diverse and vibrant area located in the western part of the country. The city itself has a population of over 200,000 people, representing various ethnic groups such as the Zarma, Tuareg, Fula and Hausa. It is an important economic center for trade and commerce in Niger.

One of the most popular tourist attractions in Tahoua is Wadata Market, where travelers can find anything from traditional carpets to spices. The old quarter of Tchintabaraden offers visitors a glimpse into Africa's past with its mud brick homes and winding streets.

Another interesting historical fact about Tahoua is that it was once home to an ancient kingdom called Masina which was formed by the Tuareg people in 1818 and governed until 1922 when it became part of French West Africa . Today there are still many reminders of this former kingdom such as monuments scattered throughout the city. Additionally, visitors can explore nearby Dungass National Park where they will find unique wildlife species including African lions and cheetahs.
