A maze of tight-knit lanes and hidden streets weave and wind their way to form the hard-to-navigate heart of Zinder, and over the town with its great adobe architectural achievements loom the towers of Sultanā€™s Palace.

Zinder was once the busiest camel caravan stop on the Trans Saharan route and is reflected in the bustling bazaar, stretching as far as the eye can see. With a rich history of French rule, tribal trading and culture, Zinder exude pure energy.
