Zinder Old City

Ancient Hausa trading city with preserved old quarters, sultanate palace, and traditional architecture.

Zinder is Niger's second city and a major historical trading center. The old medina (old city) is largely intact with traditional Hausa architecture, narrow streets, and the Sultan's palace. The city has a vibrant market and is a center of Hausa culture. Access is by road from Niamey (12+ hours) or from Nigeria. Zinder is reasonably safe but requires patience with travel times and basic infrastructure.
