Cité Fayçal is located in the southeast of the urban municipality of Niamey. The district is bordered by the streets of Boulevard du 15 Avril, Avenue de l'OUA, Boulevard de l'Indépendance and Boulevard Tanimoune. The neighboring districts are Nouveau Marché in the northwest, Poudrière in the northeast and Gamkalley Golley in the south. In the southeast, Cité Fayçal is bordered by the Niamey train station and in the west by the Garba-Hassane barracks . The district extends over an area of about 29.5 hectares and is located in a plateau with a layer of sand less than 2.5 meters deep, which means that only limited infiltration is possible.
The standard scheme for street names in Cité Fayçal is rue CI 1 , with the French rue for street followed by CI for Cité and finally a number. This goes back to a project to name streets in Niamey in 2002, in which the city was divided into 44 zones, each with its own letter abbreviations. These zones do not necessarily coincide with the administrative boundaries of the eponymous districts. The rue CI 1 scheme is used not only in Cité Fayçal, but also in parts of Poudrière.
