   - Spiritual and Extraordinary

   In the heart of the old town, the Grand Mosque just sparkles with history and spirituality. An old keeper can come and unlock the door so you can climb to the top at non-prayer hours. The view at the top is a 360 of all of Agadez and just magnificent. See more..
   
2. 4.5 The Old Quarter (10 reviews)
   - Worth an afternoon
   Neighborhoods
   
   
   Agadez doesn't get much tourism these days due to the security situation, but I visited the old quarter with a staff member from my hotel who showed me around, and felt perfectly safe. Most of the tourist shops have closed down, but there are still a number of attractions worth seeing, including the grande mosque and the German explorer Heinrich Barth's house. It's worth mentioning that the Heinrich Barth house is an actual house with a family living in it, but they were happy to show us around. There is a room set aside with a number of artifacts from his travels, and, surprisingly, they even had brochures in French, German, and English with information about his life and travels. Walking through the old quarter, a couple families also let us visit to check out the old style of houses and show us traditional leatherwork. See more..
   
3. 4.0 Air Mountains (1 review)
   - Une diversité de paysages suprenante
   Mountains • Nature & Wildlife Areas
   
   
   Une grande diversité de paysages: des montagnes de près de 2000m, des wadis luxuriants, des gueltas de l´eau fraîche, des champs de lave et un très beau village habité surtout par des Touaregs sédentarisés, Timia. Montez au fort colonial français pour avoir des vues fantastiques sur les palmiers et les « jardins » de la vallée. A l´est de l´Air commence le grand Tenéré, l´océan de sable. See more..
