Voice of Travelers to Niger
Cheap ticket to Niger. I had a good trip
I booked a ticket to Niger from Qatar. The ticket was an economy class ticket on Qatar Airways. I had to visit Niger for work but also got to travel the country a little. ticket into Niger. The crew on my flight were polite and the service were great even on an economy class ticket. Once in Niger, I booked tickets to the cinema to watch a film at a local cinema. It was a unique experience. I also visited a museum and art centre. The tickets were very cheap and I had a good time. It is possible to pre-book tickets to these attractions. Supermarket Haddad, located close to my hotel, took care of all my shopping. In fact, I bought some cheese to take back to Qatar. Co-opérative des Métiers d'Arts is also a good place to buy gifts. I will be booking another ticket to visit Niger next month.
Overall, Niger was great but keep your documents and ticket safe
I booked my ticket to Niger from Morocco. Niger is home to numerous tourist attractions, however, I had a bad experience in Niger. On my first day in Niger, my mobile phone, return air ticket and tour tickets were stolen in Niamey. This was very disappointing! There are no street lights and walking alone in the dark is not advised. If you are visiting Niger, make sure that you keep your important documents such as passports and air tickets safe. Apart from this incident, my trip to Niger was great. My air ticket was cheap and next year I hope to book a ticket with a tour group. I hope there is a special deal available for a tour ticket to Niger.
