Niger offers historical monuments and natural areas that guide travelers through the country. In the north, the Aïr Mountains rise above the Ténéré Desert, one of the largest sand deserts in the Sahara, where oases like Timia and settlements such as Iferouane are located. The city of Agadez holds the 16th-century Great Mosque and the Sultan's Palace, both built from mudbrick. In Zinder stand the Great Mosque and Fort Tanimoune, while in Dosso the Palace of the Chief and Tunguma Stone hold cultural significance. German explorer Heinrich Barth left his mark on the region during his travels in the mid-1800s.
