Kalley Est ("Kalley East") is located in downtown Niamey and is part of the Kalley district . The district is bordered by the streets of Avenue du Ghana, Avenue Soni Ali Ber, Avenue du Niger, Boulevard de la Liberté and Rue du Tchad. The surrounding neighborhoods are Abidjan in the north, Kalley Sud in the southeast, Kalley Center in the southwest and Lacouroussou in the west. Kalley Est lies in a plateau with a layer of sand that is more than 2.5 meters deep in the north and less than 2.5 meters in the south.

The standard scheme for street names in Kalley Est and other districts is Rue GM 1 , with the French rue for street being followed by GM for Grand Marché , a large market further west, 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.
