Admire the unusual Sultan's Palace, a place once inhabited by both a ruler and prisoners. Join a guided tour to learn about the history of the palace, dating from the 15th century to the present day. Enter the earth-hued building to get a better view of its traditional Hausa architecture, its rooms, and the yard where prisoners awaited their sentences. You can even visit the torture chambers, which were appropriately named "ant and scorpion cells," as those bugs were used to torture prisoners. Put Sultan's Palace into our Zinder day trip planner to see other points of interest to visit during your vacation in Zinder.
