Initiated by the Nigerian government under the impetus of the Ministry of Tourism and Handicrafts, the Tuareg Festival of the Air is a strong symbol of the recognition of the Tuareg culture. The objective was to promote this culture and their traditions in the heart of the city of Iferouane at the foot of Mount Tamgak. This is the place chosen for this grandiose festival.
