Visitors can go on a boat cruise or even try their hands at fishing. At the extreme end of the dam is Rock Castle Hotel which was originally built to host Queen Elizabeth and her entourage during her visit to Nigeria in 1960.

Horse Riding at Kano Durbar

The Kano Durbar is an exciting ceremony celebrated twice a year to mark the Muslim Salah celebrations. It’s a pulsating display of resplendently dressed horses.

All eyes are usually on the Emir and his subjects who ride around the city in an entertaining fashion. If you are lucky enough to be in Kano at the right time of the year, endeavour to be part of this rich cultural festival.

Challawa Gorge Dam

This was built in 1993 to serve as an hydroelectric source of power. It is notable as a source of water supply for irrigation, fishery for Kano and settlements along the river system.
