Niger Three Peaks Challenge

Discover Agadez

The Agadez setting places this group in Niger's northern desert country. These elevated landmarks interrupt a much broader Saharan landscape, forming a regional upland focus rather than a national mountain chain across the lower southern part of the country.

The Aïr uplands interrupt Niger's vast Saharan plains and dunes. Around Agadez, these rocky elevations give the desert a more varied profile; their setting belongs to the dry north, geographically distinct from the southern savanna and the country's Niger River corridor.
