Zuma Rock
Located north of Abuja on the road to Kaduna, Zuma Rock is a
must-see tourist attraction in Nigeria. One of Africa's Seven
Natural Wonders, this giant monolith - standing 2,400 feet (725m)
tall, and with a circumference of 1.9 miles (3.2km) - is nothing
less than a national symbol, being featured on the 100 Naira bill.
Imposing and austere, Zuma Rock is an unbelievable sight, an
improbably huge chunk of rock that - locals insist - bears the
image of a human face on its surface, as evidence of its mysterious
powers. Unfortunately, there aren't that many tourist amenities set
up around Zuma Rock as of yet - these are currently being
developed, and will include an interpretive centre and a luxury
resort.
Information & Facts
Language
English is the official language in Nigeria and is widely
used, though many other languages are also spoken.
Money
Nigerian currency is the Naira (NGN), which is divided into 100
kobo. Approved exchange facilities include the major hotels and the
airport, but official rates are very high. It is illegal to change
money on the street. Credit card fraud is a problem and visitors
are advised against the use of credit cards throughout the country.
Credit card facilities are also limited. Facilities for changing
travellers cheques are also very limited. Prior to travel, visitors
should ensure they have a variety of currency options available to
them (Sterling, US dollars or Euros) in cash. Travellers should be
aware of the prevalence of commercial fraud in, and emanating from,
Nigeria.
