Galmi,

Sahara Desert is thus an arid area with a dry, rocky landscape.[1]

Galmi is well known for its purple and red onions[2] popular in West Africa. Onion farming in the village was the subject of the Nigerien documentary film For the Best and for the Onion.[3]

A well-known landmark is the missions hospital, Galmi Hospital. The hospital compound is lush with vegetation from a local well compared to the surrounding area.[4]
