Assodé, located in Nige'’s Aïr Mountains, was a prominent Tuareg town established in the 11th century, thriving as a key hub for trans-Saharan trade before its gradual decline from the 18th century. The town was ultimately abandoned after being attacked during the 1917 Kaocen revolt, though its ruins, including well-preserved structures, still stand today. Visitors can explore its historical remains, which reflect its past significance in the region.
