Virtual Tour of Abuja

Dear Friends, Thanks for being patient and reading through my blogs. Today, I would like to take you all on a virtual tour of Abuja. Hope you will enjoy :)

1. Roads of Abuja - Abuja is a well planned city in Africa. Most of the roads are wide and neatly maintained. Most of the roads have more than 3 lanes.

4. Aso Rock - this rock is meant to be the Victory rock of Abuja. Visitors are not allowed, as military has its base on top of this rock.

5. Millennium Park - This is a big park in the middle of the city. People come here to relax in a pleasant environment. You get to see different kinds of birds and alligators.



6. FCT Crafts and Arts village - This is the place which all of us visited the most. You have a plenty of shops to purchase your gifts. Only thing is that, you have to bargain a lot here. Start bargaining at half the price and you will get 40-50% discount usually.




7. Sheraton and Hilton - These hotels have lounges and restaurants where you can hang out and enjoy a nice ambiance. Sheraton has a lot of options for food and my favorite is the Pizza place.

8. Zuma Rock - This rock is not in FCT, but very near to Abuja and on the way to Niger state. This is a huge monolith and worth seeing.
