Description
A long trek across the desert of northeastern Niger brings visitors to one of the most astonishing and rewarding sights in the Sahel: fortified villages of salt and clay built on rocks, besieged by the Sahara sands. “There was an Arab who had come from Turkey, according to the information we received, and he was the one who gave people the ingenious idea to build that fort,” says traditional chief, Kiari Sidi Tchagam.
