Located in the eastern part of the Republic of Chad, near the Darfur region of Sudan, Adré is the capital of the Ouaddai region. An important border trade center, the city connects the trade routes of Chad, Sudan and Central Africa, and its vibrant economy is reflected in its active camel market and crafts trade.
Located in the Sahelian zone, Adré has a tropical arid climate with less than 300 millimeters of annual precipitation. Surrounded by sparse grasslands and acacia forests, the population relies on traditional water management during the dry season. In recent years, desertification has posed a continuing challenge to local agriculture.
The city's population is predominantly of Arab and indigenous origin, with a predominantly Islamic culture. Mud-brick buildings are interspersed with modern amenities, and the weekly open-air market serves not only as a place for exchange of goods, but also as a platform for cultural exchanges between different tribes. Due to its proximity to the conflict zone, the city has also become an important hub for refugee resettlement.
