Abuja is the administrative centre of Nigeria, and a great place to learn more about this fascinating country

Abuja has not long been the capital city of Nigeria, and was deliberately built for the role because it is not seen as a sectarian, but representative of the various different cultures and communities in the country. To make the most of Abuja, it's best to visit some of the everyday aspects of the city for those who live here. The largest market, Wusa, provides for the local population, and offers everything from food to clothes and entertainment. However there are also a number of luxury shopping malls to visit, including Ceddi Plaza and the Abuja Metro Plaza. To service the business travellers, there are many Western food outlets and hotels. The Arts and Crafts Village sells some local trinkets, but it's the done thing to haggle the sellers down from the initial prices.

Nigeria has a very warm climate, which alternates between wet, humid periods and hot and dry times. As with the rest of Africa, the sometimes erratic power supply is part of the interesting aspects to experience during your stay.

Abuja has interesting natural attractions, and a variety of religions and cultures

There are a number of attractions to visit in Abuja during a holiday there. Two of the city's main attractions reflect the two main religions of this country. The Nigeria National Mosque is a very commanding building, and it is open to visitors. The Christian Centre also has an impressive architecture, and welcomes visitors too.

There are several impressive natural phenomena in or near to Abuja. To the north of the city is the large Zuma Rock, an unusual igneous rock structure that it is possible to climb. There is also Aso Rock, which has a number of important Nigerian buildings around it, such as the Supreme Court and the grand Presidential Complex. To sample the vegetation of Nigeria, and relax from the busyness of the city, try Millennium Park, which is the largest such area in the city. One half of the park is dedicated to wild growth of natural plants, and the other to the scientific exploration and study of the plants. There are plans to expand this park to include museums and other tourist attractions.

It's possible to get a drink and something to eat at the informal 'Bush Bars' dotted around the city.
