Bamako

Located in West Africa, Mali is predominantly a landlocked country known for its rich cultural heritage and significant history. It is bordered by seven countries: Algeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea, Senegal, and Mauritania. A place where ancient traditions thrive, Mali draws travelers with the UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the legendary city of Timbuktu, the Great Mosque of Djenné (the largest mud-brick structure in the world), and the cliffside Dogon villages. Furthermore, it is home to the vibrant capital city of Bamako, known for its lively markets and music scene, and the breathtaking Niger River. Adventurous visitors can explore the rugged landscape of the Sahara Desert or enjoy a journey along the historic routes of trans-Saharan trade.
