Top 5 Filming Locations in Niger
Niamey
Niamey, the capital and largest city of Niger, is situated on the banks of the Niger River in the southwest of the country. The city boasts a great mosque and traditional buildings set amidst natural surroundings throughout the city. It is an ideal location for any film production seeking a traditional city with numerous natural landscapes nearby.
Niger River
The Niger River is the main river of West Africa and the third-longest river in Africa that runs through Mali, Niger, on the border with Benin, and then through Nigeria. It is often called the lifeblood of this desert country. Along the river, you can find many landscapes such as swamps, small islands, and various species of fish.
Hikma Complex
Hikma Complex is a modern mosque building that has been renovated to serve as a space where people can find knowledge and engage in religious practice. The project offers areas for learning, reading, studying, workshops, play, and worship. As a rare find in modern architecture in Niger, featuring this location in your film would add to the spectacular scenery of your production.
The Ténéré Desert
The Ténéré Desert is known for its beautiful shifting sand dunes. The UTA Flight 772 Memorial site can be found deep in the Ténéré Desert. Also, the Tree of Ténéré was once the most remote tree in the world. Both spectacular sites can be found in the Ténéré Desert, lying and waiting for your film production to capture them.
Aïr Mountains
The Aïr Mountains, located in the northern part of Niger, offer a spectacular sight as they rise up from the sand dunes of the Sahara Desert. The mountain range includes Mont Idoukal-n-Taghes, which is the highest peak in the country.
