About Abuja
Abuja, Nigeria’s capital in the Federal Capital Territory, is known for modern civic districts, the Abuja National Mosque and granite landmarks near Aso Rock.
Broad roads, planned neighborhoods and government buildings give Abuja a modern feel, while green spaces and rocky horizons keep nature close. Visitors see the Abuja National Mosque, browse Wuse Market and spend time at Millennium Park or Jabi Lake Park.
Local dishes include jollof rice, suya and pounded yam with egusi soup. November to February suits a stay of three to seven days, with Wuse offering a convenient base.
