It is fantastic place, but avoid to stay in the center of the town – you will meet nasty souvenirs sellers every hour… The best option for the backpackers is Agreboun Hotel – 15 min walk from gare routiere – they charge 7 000 CFA per double with shower… We started from the animal market – camels, donkeys, goats, dust… But nice Tuareg people – proud and always ready for your photo…
Sandy, dusty streets reminds Timbuktu… The highlight is Grand Mosque with its mud minaret – you can even climb the tower paying some money to the guardian. But the best place to be is the terrace of the Air hotel at the evening where they serve cold Niger Beer for 1000 CFA so you can sip it and listen to the voices of Saharan town…
