Mali is an incredibly culturally rich country in West Africa. From mysterious Timbuktu, to the Bandiagara cliffs in the Dogon Region, Mali is a unique destination. Mali’s traditional cultural festivals have become world events. And even the Dogon region’s traditional masked dances are drawing international crowds.
Some tourists come just to see Mali’s incredible mud architecture, dating back from medieval times. The most impressive example has to be the glorious Grande Mosque in Djenne.
Here some interesting of Mali’s Pictures:
1. The Grande Mosque in Djenne is the largest mud-brick building in the world. It has three huge turrets with wooden poles sticking out.
2. Dogon masks are beautifully created and used in dances during religious ceremonies. Tourists can witness some of the ceremonies from April – May.
3. Djenne’s main attraction is the Grande Mosque, pictured behind this man. But it’s also the people you meet in Djenne that make this a fantastic destination.
4. Babies throughout rural Africa are carried on their mother’s backs, freeing their hands to work in the fields or tend to domestic chores.
5. The Bandiagara escarpment is home to the Dogon people whose traditional homes are literally carved out of the cliffs.
6. This mosque in Yonga Boza is typical of the mud architecture found throughout this region. Mud is used because timber is hard to find in the desert.
