Gorou Kirey (also: Gorou Kiré , Gorou Kirèye ) is a village in the Niamey V Arrondissement of the city of Niamey in Niger .

The village, run by a traditional chief (chef traditionnel) , is located on the national road 27 on the south-eastern edge of the rural area of ​​Niamey V. The surrounding settlements in Niamey V include the village of Timéré in the north-west and the hamlet of Dantcha in the west. The rural community of Youri extends southeast of Gorou Kirey . Gorou Kirey is located on the Niger River . The dry valley of the same name, Gorou Kirey , which flows into the Niger and has a length of 8 kilometers and a catchment area of ​​22.6 square kilometers, runs near the village . The place name comes from the Zarma language . The word gorou means "dry valley" and the word kirey means "red". Gorou Kirey is accordingly the "red dry valley".

The village already existed in the 1970s when the city of Niamey began to expand to the right bank of the Niger. Gorou Kirey was outside the city limits of Niamey until the end of the 20th century and belonged to the arrondissement of Kollo . In 2005 and 2009 the Festival International de la Mode en Afrique (FIMA) took place in Gorou Kirey. In the course of this, a concrete catwalk as well as a street and a parking lot made of laterite were created.
