Travel Guide Néma

The capital of Hodh ech-Chargui is at the end of the Road of Hope. Moreover, the tar road stops dead at the entrance of the city! Created at the beginning of the 19th century, Néma has an airfield that could help open it up. It is a commercial city where you can find everything from camels to spare parts and furniture. From Nema, you can reach Timbuktu, 500 km to the east, by a difficult track requiring a guide or by truck, at the price of 2 to 3 days of a trying journey. Bamako is 580 km to the south, via Nara. If you leave for Oualata, you must register at the gendarmerie.
