The Ancient Nok Settlement, Nigeria

The settlement of the Noks is one of the most underrated tourist places in Nigeria, but is one that reveals a lot about the country’s cultural richness. Located close to the capital city of Abuja, the ancient settlement is a site of the ruins of the settlements that the Nok civilization originated from. Tourists are encouraged to revel in the beauty of the structural patterns and the terracotta artefacts, much of which are found in museums all across the world. The ruins echo the history of the Nok people, and are a testament to their resilience.
