There's a lovely mosque there, built from mud bricks. You can go inside, unlike the more famous one at Djenne.
But sadly Mali is off-limits at the moment; it's just too dangerous. A shame, because the Festival of the Desert used to be held in Timbuktu.
yes not a safe place to go sadly !! tunisia seems off limits too now
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
