Assamaka, Niger: a crossroads of history and civilization in the depths of the Sahara
Located in the north of Niger, on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, Assamaka (Agadez) is an important historical and cultural city in Niger and an ancient trading hub connecting North and West Africa. Once the center of the Agadez Sultanate, the city, founded in the 15th century, is known for its distinctive mud-brick architecture, particularly the 27-meter-high Assamaka Mosque, which is regarded as an architectural masterpiece of the Sahel. As a Tuareg settlement, Asamaka has preserved its traditional nomadic culture and attracts visitors from around the globe each year to experience desert festivals and handicrafts (e.g. silver jewelry, leatherwork). Despite the challenges of desertification, it remains the economic and cultural heart of northern Niger and has witnessed the millennia of Saharan civilization.
