  • Agadez — historically a very important stage on the trans-Saharan caravan routes in northern Niger
  • Bamako — capital of Mali
  • Khartoum — capital of Sudan and by far the largest city in the region
  • Mopti — one of the main ports in Mali and a good gateway for many impressive attractions such as Djenné, Timbuktu, and Dogon Country.
  • N'Djamena — capital of Chad
  • Niamey — capital of Niger and perhaps the most accessible Sahelian city for the traveler
  • Nouakchott — capital of Mauritania
