Ancient Dye Pits
The dye pits of Kano are over 500 years old and privately owned. Indigo is mixed with potassium and ash and fermented for a month before being ready to dye cloths. You can get a short tour around the pits and they will be happy to sell you cloths and clothes dyed blue in a variety of tie dye patterns.
The old Kurmi market sells textiles from around the world.
The Gidan Makama museum is in the centre of town.
Kano History Museum
The Kano State History Museum at Gidan Dan Hausa house has a collection of artefacts from stone age to present day within the collonial house of the governor from the 1900s. A friendly tour guide will explain all the objects for you.
The Great Mosque is in the centre of the city and on Fridays over 50,000 people will worship there.
