Niamey: the capital and economic and cultural center of Niger
Niamey, the capital of the Republic of Niger, is located in the southwestern part of the country on the banks of the Niger River and is the central hub of the country's politics, economy, culture and transportation. As the largest city in Niger, Niamey is characterized by a typical savannah climate, hot and dry all year round, with the Niger River running through the city, providing a valuable source of water and an oasis landscape. Iconic landmarks in the city include the magnificent grande mosquée de Niamey and the National Museum, which showcases Niger's diverse culture and attracts many visitors. As an agricultural and trading center, Niamey is surrounded by cash crops such as peanuts and cotton, and its markets flourish, making it one of West Africa's major commodity hubs. Despite the challenges of urbanization, Niamey remains a first stop for exploring Niger with its unique River Niger scenery and welcoming multi-ethnic culture.
