In the centre of Agadez is the extraordinary Grande Mosquée, the single most definitive image of Niger for many people. The minaret's distinctive structure dates from 1844, although the mosque has been on this site since the early 16th century. The minaret, which you can climb for a small fee, enjoys spectacular views over the town and the surrounding desert.
