A landlocked country in the Sahel, Mali is bordered by Algeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Cote d´Ivoire, Guinea, Senegal and Mauritania. Mali occupies the heart of a territory that once supported Africa s greatest empires and is rich with historical resonance. This history bequeathed to Mali some of its most dramatic attractions the legendary city of Timbuktu (Tombouctou), whose name has never lost its allure for travellers, the gloriously improbable mosque at Djenné and the bustling river port of Mopti are simply three among many. This book offers information on Mali and its most notable places.
