Worth knowing about Maradi
- Maradi Airport is MFQ. The code DKA and the name Umaru Musa Yar'adua Airport belong to Katsina, across the border in Nigeria, and the two are easy to confuse when booking.
- The UK Foreign Office advises against all travel to Niger and says that outside Niamey you must be escorted by Nigerien security and military forces.
- Maradi is Niger's second largest city and the trading hub of the south central Hausa region, sitting on the single paved highway that runs the length of the country.
