Abuja City Gate
A white arched gate at the entrance to the city from the airport expressway, the first landmark and photo spot for anyone entering the capital.
The Abuja City Gate spans the airport road and is the first landmark you see when coming into the city from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. It has a white double arch with the national coat of arms and the words “Welcome to Abuja.” A small plaza beside it is good for photos, and the National Stadium is nearby. Most visitors just stop to take a photo on the way to or from the airport. If you pull over on the expressway, take care for your safety.
