Calabar, Port city in southeastern Nigeria.
Calabar extends along the Cross River banks with residential areas, commercial districts, and green spaces covering 406 square kilometers of tropical landscape.
The city operated as a primary British administrative center in the Niger Delta region from 1884 to 1906 following Queen Victoria's treaty.
The December carnival transforms the streets into a celebration zone with parades, costumes, dance performances, and food festivals lasting an entire month.
Margaret Ekpo International Airport connects Calabar to major Nigerian cities through regional flights that transit via Lagos or Abuja.
The city holds the distinction of establishing Nigeria's first secondary school, hospital, and network of paved roads during the colonial period.
