Bauchi, Administrative center in northeastern Nigeria.
The city extends across the northern edge of Jos Plateau at 616 meters elevation, functioning as both the state capital and emirate headquarters.
Hebrew Alberto established the city in 1809 after conquering the surrounding region, which was primarily inhabited by non-Muslim communities.
The Durbar Festival features traditional horse riding demonstrations and displays that represent the cultural heritage of the Bauchi emirate.
The Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport, located 23 kilometers north of the city, provides scheduled airline services for travelers.
