Dirkou is a border town in southwestern Niger, on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, bordering Nigeria, in the Tillabéry region. As Niger's main gateway into the Sahel region, it was once an important node on the ancient trans-Saharan trade route, and remains today a hub of land transportation connecting Niger to Nigeria. Surrounded by acacia bushes and semi-arid grasslands, the city enjoys a hot and dry climate, with average annual temperatures exceeding 30°C. The economy is mainly agro-pastoral. The local economy is dominated by agro-pastoralism, with the inhabitants mostly engaged in nomadic herding (camels, goats) and oasis agriculture (dates, millet). In recent years, the ecological pressure on Dirkou has gradually increased due to climate change and water stress, but its unique desert frontier culture and historical position still make it an important town in southwestern Niger.
