History
Fada is the administrative centre of Ennedi-Ouest and the last place with fuel, a phone network and an airstrip. The town grew around an oasis and a crossroads of caravan tracks linking the Borkou to the Ouaddaï and Sudan.
For travellers, Fada is the airlock: it is where supplies are topped up, permits stamped, and where you leave the connected world for several days.
