Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan. The town is famous for its eponymous alpine lake, Lake Sevan, one of the largest freshwater lakes in Eurasia, at an altitude of about 1,900 meters above sea level, which is known as the "Pearl of Armenia".
Lake Sevan is surrounded by magnificent landscapes and crystal clear waters, making it an important tourist and recreational destination in Armenia. The town boasts historical monuments such as the Sevan Monastery, a 9th-century monastery situated on a peninsula overlooking the lake, which attracts many tourists and pilgrims. The local economy is based on fishing, tourism and agriculture, and the climate is cool enough for summer vacations.
With a population of around 20,000, the town of Sevan retains its traditional Armenian culture, while the infrastructure is constantly being improved to provide accommodation and catering services. It is an ideal starting point for exploring the nature and history of the Caucasus and is easily accessible for short trips.
Mayahi is a town in south-central Niger, about 300 km southeast of the capital city of Niamey, and belongs to the Maradi Region, which is one of the important agricultural and commercial centers in the region. With a predominantly savannah climate and distinct wet and dry seasons, the inhabitants are mostly engaged in traditional agriculture, mainly cultivating millet, sorghum, peanuts and other crops, with a certain proportion of animal husbandry. As an area inhabited by the Hausa people, Mayahi retains a strong traditional Nigerian culture, with daily communication in Hausa and a vibrant marketplace for the distribution of agricultural products. Despite its relatively simple infrastructure, the town is quiet and simple, showing the living style of the interior of Niger, and is a window to the local farming culture and community life.
