Djado Plateau information


The ruined city of Djado, with nomadic women gathered in the foreground. October 1989.

The Djado Plateau lies in the Sahara, in northeastern Niger. It is known for its cave art (often of large mammals long since absent from the area), but is now largely uninhabited, with abandoned towns and forts still standing and visible. As of 2012, the commune of Djado had a total population of 876 people.[1]
