City Guide N'Djamena

The 10 Best Souvenirs from N'Djamena

N'Djamena turns the souvenir search into a series of small decisions: what feels well made, what will travel cleanly, and what still matters after the trip through Chad is over.

Image: Astronaut photograph ISS072-E-571857 was acquired on January 24, 2025, with a Nikon Z9 digital camera using a focal length of 50 millimeters. It is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit at NASA Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by a member of the Expedition 72 crew. The image has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth.
