Although the Gulmance account for only 4.5% of the national population and they have a strong culture with much history surrounding it.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Fada N'gourma

Markt Fada NGourma MS 10181 - Central market of Fada N'Gourma Bienenstoecke Fada Bild1067 - Traditional beehives producing the 'Miel du Gourma'

Marché

Marché day is every Sunday, and the Fada marché seems to offer just about the same stuff as other marches in relatively big villes

Boutiques

There are a couple of pretty good alimentations where you can find things like tuna in water. In general, you can support the east by buying things like Miel du Gourma (not to be confused with imitation products like Miel Naturel du Gourma), Biala drinking water, and Lait du Gourma milk and yogurt (it’s delicious).

Halal Restaurants

Restaurants

Restaurant de L’Est – moderately expensive. Like most Burkinabè restaurants and they don’t always have everything on their menu, but it’s one of the classier, more overpriced restaurants in Fada, and they have a pretty chewy pepper steak.
Les Caraibes – moderately priced. Although they’ve recently switched chefs, Les Caraibes continues to offer some of the best fries in Fada, as well as good grilled fish, but be prepared to wait a long time for your food.
Ben Nevis– moderately priced. This place stole the chef from Les Caraibes, so food is good, and there is dancing next door

Street food and snacks

Bissap stand right outside the STMB gare.
Curon is a frozen lemonade-type drink sold in sachets.
The Meat guy outside the internet café is good
Lait du Gourma yogurt is always nice.

There are plenty of buvettes, but one of the nicest would have to be La Plage, not because their drinks are cold but because they’re located at the beach.

Muslim Friendly Hotels

Drew’s House (free): There is no electricity or running water, but there is a nice indoor shower space as well as a guest room complete with a bed, mattress, sheets, a pillow, and its own entrance. If you want to do something to pay his family back for their kindness and they really appreciate gifts of fish. Also, you can buy Miel du Gourma from his mom’s stand.
Auberge Dieumoagu (4000-7000 CFA with fan and shared bathrooms): By far, Fada's nicest, well-managed, hostel. The traditional and artistic decorations made by a local artist make it the nicest small hostal I have seen in Burkina. It is composed of 4 big clean huts with fans and electricity, with a small restaurant and a nice paillotte. Local drummers perform there for a small fee (5000 CFA)and the owner, a gourmantche traditionalist, organizes wild trips in villages near Fada (possibility to rent a motorcycle). It is located near the barrage, right beside the SIM protestant church, 50 metres from the paved road to Ouagadougou E-mail: @, Call MD to +226 70 70 99 92.
TP (4000 CFA with fan, 6000 CFA with A/C): Thit is your typical Burkinabè hotel space: it’s not too dirty or too clean, and the toilet in your room might not always work, but hey, it’s got a bathroom with a mirror and running water, and it’s more or less conveniently located.
Auberge La Belle Etoile (c.5000 CFA a double): Located on the road to Ouaga, 5 rooms with a fan, a paillotte in the courtyard and common shower/toilet. Quite clean. If the owner, Alfred Ouoba, aka l'ambassadeur du Gourma, a "young and dynamic Burkinabé" (ako Guide du Routard) is there, he can give you very good advice on what to do in Fada. Contact: by mail or phone 00226770809, website tml
Mariam Juali Catholic Mission (not expensive): This quiet and peaceful place is on the road to Pama, close to the city limit, thus relatively far from the more happening parts of town. There are gardens there and a conference room. (Tel +226 40 77 01 60)
Hotel Panache (the most expensive we know of in Fada): Held by a Syrian family, it is certainly the best hotel in Fada, but totally overpriced due to lack of competition (count on 20-30.000 fcfa). It has a swimming swimmingpool though and it's feasible to eat at night if you order by noon. www.panachehotel.com
Hotel du 11 Décembre on the right side of the road to Niamey
Guesthouse of the Botanical Garden Bantia, c. 10 kilometers South of Fada on the road to Pama, some comfortable and clean roundhuts in the nationside, next to the botanical garden (+226 70 30 24 76, c. 5000 CFA)
