Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Zaria?
The best area to stay in Zaria is the Government Residential Area (GRA) due to its well-maintained environment and convenient access.

The GRA is known for its spacious layout, tree-lined streets, and generally quieter surroundings compared to other parts of Zaria. You'll find a mix of larger residential properties and a few top hotels here. It's centrally located, making it easy to reach key institutions like Ahmadu Bello University and the city's main market.

For business travellers, the GRA is particularly suitable. Its proximity to major institutions and a more structured environment make it ideal for focused work. Hotels in this area often provide amenities like meeting rooms and reliable internet access.

Families will also find the GRA a good fit. The area's quieter streets and open spaces offer a more relaxed setting, and it's generally considered a pleasant place for walks.
When is the best time to go to Zaria?
The best time to go to Zaria is during the dry season, which typically runs from November to March.

During these months, you'll experience cooler temperatures and significantly less rainfall, making it much more comfortable for exploring the city and its surroundings. The average daily temperatures are pleasant, usually ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, which is ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities.

This period is particularly good for those interested in historical sites and local culture. You can comfortably visit places like the Emir's Palace and the historic walls of the old city without the inconvenience of heavy downpours or high humidity. It's also a great time for couples who want to enjoy leisurely walks and discover the local markets without the intense heat of the peak dry season.
