Niger, a vast country of deserts and river valleys, is home to Tuareg camel caravans, Hausa markets, and the annual Cure Salée festival. Nigeriens value family, hospitality, and a deep connection to the land. Islam is the predominant faith, but traditional beliefs and rituals are still practiced, especially among nomadic groups. Spiritual life is visible in mosque gatherings, Sufi music, and colorful celebrations marking the end of the rainy season.
