Fachi is an
oasis surrounded by the
Ténéré dessert and the dunes of the
Erg of Bilma in eastern
Niger, placed on the western edge of the small
Agram mountain outcropping. It has an estimated population of some 2000 people. A stopping point of the
Agadez to
Kaouar caravans of the Azalay, Fachi is 150 miles west of
Bilma and 200 miles east of the
Aïr Mountains. Apart from water, dates, and salt, Fachi produces no provisions, and depends entirely upon trade in these products with passing caravans.
