Jos:
The city of Jos is situated at the northern edge of a pear-shaped upland known as the Jos Plateau. This upland stretches for approximately 104km. from north to south, and 80km from east to west covering an area of about 8,600km2 or 860,000 hectares. Characterized by impressive ridges and isolated rocky hills separated by extensive plains, the Plateau exhibits a variety of land forms which provide excellent picnic resorts.
Another remarkable feature of the Jos Plateau is the clusters of hamlets and villages, which lend color and beauty to the landscape. These settlements together with the farm plots are, in many cases, demarcated by cactus hedges.
Points of interest include an open-air museum of traditional architecture and the Jos Museum, which displays artifacts of the Nok culture.
