Mali
Mali is a definite must-see country if you’re planning to go on vacation. It is one of the oldest cities in Africa, having been founded in 800 AD. Mali’s location – an island within the Niger River, made it the natural center for trade between the Sahara and the areas within Guinea. Mali’s city, Djenne, also became the hub of Islamic learning. This is most evident in the majestic Grand Mosque that can be seen there. Djenne is also famous for its very vibrant market square, arguably one of the most lively markets you’ll find in the whole of the African continent.
