Oahab is a small city on the eastern border of Burkina Faso, near the border with Niger, under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Region. Located in the Sahelian eco-region, it has an arid climate, with a remarkable savannah climate, less than 800 millimeters of annual precipitation, and distinct wet and dry seasons. The local economy is dominated by traditional agriculture and animal husbandry, with residents mostly engaged in millet and sorghum cultivation and goat and sheep farming, and is a distribution center for agricultural products from neighboring villages.
