Mali, the Cradle of African Empires, is a landlocked West African nation of 22 million people with its capital in Bamako. Home to some of Africa's greatest civilisations, it captivates with the UNESCO-listed ancient city of Djenné and its magnificent Great Mosque — the world's largest mud-brick structure — the legendary desert city of Timbuktu, the Dogon Country cliff villages, the sweeping Niger River, and a rich Mandé, Tuareg, Songhai, and Fulani cultural heritage.
