Agadez And The Grand Mosque Are Something Out Of This World

Niger is an Islamic country, which is evident at every turn. The Grand Mosque in Agadez is one of the city's most famous landmarks. Agadez, originally Agadès, is Niger's fifth largest city, with a population of 110,497 people according to the 2012 census. It is the seat of the Agadez Region, and it is also the capital of Air, one of the original Tuareg–Berber federations. UNESCO has listed the town's historic center as a World Heritage Site.

Be surprised - it's unlike any other mosque you've ever seen! It is a solitary sand-colored triangular tower that rises above the city's flat skyline. The building is quite amazing since it appears to be a clay formation with wooden sticks protruding from the walls at first glance. It was first constructed in 1500 and subsequently reconstructed in 1800, but it continues to attract attention even now. You should also visit Agadez city to see the narrow lanes and mud-brick houses!
