About Abuja

Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, is a modern and planned city known for its impressive architecture, green spaces, and cultural diversity. Unlike many other African capitals, Abuja was purpose-built in the 1980s to serve as the political and administrative center of Nigeria. It offers a unique blend of urban sophistication and natural beauty, with landmarks such as the Nigerian National Mosque and the Nigerian National Christian Centre reflecting the country’s religious diversity. The city is surrounded by picturesque hills and rock formations, providing scenic views and outdoor opportunities. Abuja appeals to tourists seeking a blend of culture, history, and modern amenities. Visitors can enjoy vibrant markets, diverse cuisine, and cultural festivals while exploring a city that represents Nigeria’s unity and growth. Its well-maintained infrastructure and relative safety make it an attractive destination for both business travelers and tourists.

Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season (November to March). Pack lightweight clothing, sun protection, and comfortable shoes for walking. Respect local customs, dress modestly especially when visiting religious sites, and avoid discussing sensitive political topics. Stay hydrated and use bottled water. Keep valuables secure and use reputable transport. Cash is widely used, but some places accept cards. ATMs are available but can be unreliable.
