Hotels near Ouagadougou Airport - OUA, Ouagadougou

Better if you are here with a small group. Ring on your own here isn’t great mainly due to the street sellers. But that’s what you would expect. I came to stay for 1 night and move on to my next destination but ended up staying a week due to flight complications. Fine for biusness

The city is much cleaner and well kept than I expected. The roads are very well preserved. Traffic is sometimes hard but much better than in other African or world capitals. Drivers are quite polite actually. Nice restaurants and food. People are generally calm and friendly. FESPACO is a must for anyone who loves cinema - you will find an amazing talent from all over Africa there. The Sculpture Garden is unbelievably rich an interesting in content - over 500 authors on a global scale. The Museum of History is small but interesting. The Artisanal Market is full of very well made souvenirs. I needed a pharmacy and was nicely surprised that everything I was looking for could be found there at decent prices.

Don't believe the misleading narratives from some mainstream media about Burkina Faso. As per the time of writing this, it is a country worth living in: filled with people of integrity, hospitality, and a strong commitment to building a better future for their nation.
