Timbuktu, Mali Timbuktu, Mali Timbuktu was once a fabled city of gold that conjures up mysterious images and arouses curiosity. Neither it's an expression for an outlandish place nor a destination existing only in hyperbole. Timbuktu sits near the big bend of the Niger River on the cusp of Sahara in Mali – a lost treasure of West Africa. Once a fabled city of gold and an intellectual capital is now a town of mud-brick mosques and sandy streets where camels meet the canoes. With otherworldly calm and post-apocalyptic-Marrakesh vibe, it conjures up mysterious images and arouses curiosity. Even its spelling (Timbuktu and Tombouctou) adds to the allure that's being invaded one grain at a time. Places to Visit in Timbuktu Sankore University – Founded in the 15th century, it is one of the oldest universities in the world. Comprising three structures of Sidi Yahya Mosque, Djinguereber Mosque, and Sankoré Madrasah, the site was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. The mosques, rendered in mud, are made entirely of organic materials such as fiber, straw, and wood. Djinguereber Mosque has three inner courts, two limestone minarets, and 25 rows of pillars. Heinrich Barth's House – Barth was a German explorer remembered for his visits through the Sahara and northern and western Africa. This tiny museum contains significant reproductions of his drawings, manuscripts, and extracts of writings. Ahmed Baba Institute – Established in 1973, it is named after a local scholar Ahmad Baba al-Massufi. This center, covering an area of 4,600 sq. meters, holds approximately 20,000 manuscripts from the 14th to 16th centuries – when the trading town was flourishing. Visitors can attend seminars about subjects such as Arabic calligraphy and writing in African history. Bandiagara Escarpment – Located south of the city in the Dogon region, these sandstone cliffs stretch for about 95 miles. This chain is marked by Mali's highest peak – Hombori Tondo – at 1,115 meters. Guided trekking, hiking, and camping tours are popular in this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Great Mosque of Djenné – Built in Sudano-Sahelian architecture, this mosque is the largest mud building in the world. It lies in Djenné, a city in the Niger delta, that is renowned for its characteristic adobe architecture, ornately decorated doorways, and slanted mosque. Things to Do in Timbuktu Grande Marche – This covered market is a beehive of activities. Not as lively as the souks of northern Africa, but keep your eyes open in this clamorous Monday market for the leather goods, spices, clothes, and souvenirs like necklaces or knives. Relax yourself with a drink in one of the restaurants at the rooftop, mingle with locals to get an overview of town, and plan your next destination. Boat Rides – Take a ferry or a boat trip, slower but more comfortable, to discover the distant towns along the banks of Niger River. Pinasses (traditional wooden boats) from Mopti to Korioumé (nearest port from the town) operate in the river when it is navigable for three months during the rainy season. Camping and Camel Rides – If boat rides are not your cup of tea, hop on the back of a 'ship of the desert' to explore the landscape of Sahel region. Check out the oasis of Araouane, salt mines of Taoudenni, and get a taste of nomadic Tuareg lifestyle while going on overnight camping tours offered by local operators. And if you're looking to really venture out in the Sahara, take a week-long tour that takes you all the way to Morocco. Accommodations On your way to Timbuktu, one comes to terms with not expecting luxury suites. Hotel la Colombe and Hotel Azalai offer decent accommodations and amenities. For budget travelers, Hotel Campement Bouctou and Sahara Passion are good options. Restaurants There are a number of bars, cafes, and restaurants around the main street and the Grand Marche. Le Souvenir, a rooftop restaurant, serves dishes ranging from mutton kebab to sweet potato fries. Poulet d'Or Restaurant and Amanar Restaurant serve authentic African cuisine. Pattiserie Asko, stands opposite a post office, serves rice or couscous with sauce, beer, and soft drinks. Timbuktu Map Location The town is located 12 miles north of the Niger River on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert in central Mali. Best Time to Visit From November to February, when the weather is relatively cooler, is the ideal time to visit Timbuktu. Avoid extensive traveling during the rainy season (July-September) as the roads are often impassable. How to Reach? By Air – You can fly into Timbuktu Airport (TOM) from Mopti or Bamako (the capital of Mali). Bamako Senou International Airport is the international gateway to the country. It is served by African, Middle Eastern, and European airlines. By Road – Popular modes of transportation are bus, shared cars, camel, or cart. Since most roads in the urban areas of Mali are not paved, so prefer flying or traveling by boat. Getting around the town is easier, as all the mosques located in the old town can be reached on foot in a few minutes. Facts about Timbuktu It is the capital of Timbuktu Region of Mali. The city was first settled in 11th century by the Tuareg Imashagan (Tuareg people). It is located about 628 miles (1,011 km) from Bamako and 250 miles (403 km) from Mopti. René Caillié, a French explorer, was one of the first Europeans to enter the city.

  • Emerging Religious Movements and Their Implications in African History and Heritage
    European Scientific Journal January 2016 edition vol.12, No.2 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Emerging Religious Movements And Their Implications In African History And Heritage Emmanuel Osewe Akubor, PhD Department of History, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife doi: 10.19044/esj.2016.v12n2p365 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2016.v12n2p365 Abstract Africa has often been referred to as the Home of Civilization. This reference is based on the fact that most of the continent evidences how man has, over time, interacted meaningful with his environment to produce all that he needs to make history. Archaeological remains in Egypt have shed light on this development as far as Africa is concern. Other remains found particularly in central Eastern Africa have been widely recognized such that the area is now widely accepted as the origin of humans and the Hominidae clade (great apes). This is evidenced by the discovery of the earliest hominids and their ancestors, as well as later ones that have been dated to around seven million years ago. These later ones include Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Australopithecus africanus, A. afarensis, Homo erectus, H. habilis, and H. ergaster, with the earliest Homo sapiens (modern human) found in Ethiopia dating far back to circa 200,000 years ago. Now, this rich historical heritage is being threatened by the emergence of some religious movements in Africa. The reason for this is that these religions see the preservation of these relics as idolatry and unacceptable. Data obtained from primary and secondary sources were deployed to carry out the study, and the study was carried out with an analytical and narrative historical method.

  • E-Proceeding of the 4Th World
    E-PROCEEDING OF THE 7TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARABIC STUDIES & ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION 2020 TIMBUKTU: A FORGOTTEN ISLAMIC LEGENDARY CITY! Soufiana Salim DRAMÉ The Department of Curriculum and Instruction_ Islamic Education, Kulliyyah of Education International Islamic University Malaysia, 53100 Gombak Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Over the past thousand years, the Islamic civilisation had been shining and made immense contributions to the global civilisation. The early development of Islamic civilisation started in Madinah in the mid-7th century, and then it spread to all the Muslim world. The Muslim scientists and thinkers were the mastermind and original source of several modern sciences and numerous innovations. Muslim civilisation gave birth to the first university alongside the first mental health hospital in the world. That greatest contribution was made by Muslims from all over the continents. Despite this ethnical diversity and geographical distance between Muslims, the Islamic faith (Tawhid) was the strongest link that connected them. In fact, that universality was the great secret of the true success of Islamic civilisation. Unfortunately, the reality shows that all these wonderful and priceless Islamic heritages and legacies seem to be forgotten by our today’s Muslims society, especially, among Muslim youth. Therefore, this paper aims to revive one of those forgotten Islamic legacies, which is the legendary city of Timbuktu. It is also the vision of this paper to call and recall the Muslims to turn back to those Islamic heritages and legacies. This study highlights considerable achievements of Islamic civilisation and as well as some significant contributions of Muslim Scientists around the world. The writer used the document research method by analysis and evaluation with an argumentative as well as narrative approach.

  • Mansa Musa I of Mali: Gold, Salt, and Storytelling in Medieval West Africa
    Case Study #16 April 2020 Mansa Musa I of Mali: Gold, Salt, and Storytelling in Medieval West Africa Fig. 1: the Malian Empire at the time of Musa’s death (source: Wikipedia Commons) In 1312, the reigning emperor of Mali – Mansa Abubakari Keita II – sent 200 manned boats and 100 support boats containing supplies to sail until they found the edge of the Atlantic. After a long excursion, one boat returned. Its captain bore only a horror story about the whirlpool that had swallowed his comrades. Unimpressed (and perhaps obsessed) the emperor chose to make the expedition himself – this time with a retinue of 3,000 ships. He chose his deputy, Musa – a member of the court with no blood relation to the king – to act as ruler in his absence. The deliberate appointment, untainted by the hereditary rule that has produced so many poor monarchs, is likely a testament to the character and abilities of Musa. Abubakari Keita never returned; some believe he might have reached South America.1 Regardless of his final resting place, Mali was not destined to become a seafaring empire, and instead of the west, Musa looked to the east. With his feet firmly on dry land, the successor Mansa Musa of Mali (‘Mansa’ meaning emperor, conqueror, or sultan) became the richest man in history – a wealth that grew alongside Mali’s This case study was prepared by Charlie Harris.

  • The Great Mali Empire
    The Great Mali Empire The Mali Empire flourished from 1200- 1500 AD, and succeeded the empire of Ghana. The Mali Empire spread across an estimated 478,819 square miles, including the modern day boundaries of Senegal, southern Mauritania, Mali, northern Burkina Faso, western Niger, the Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, the Ivory Coast and northern Ghana. Mali thrived in a dry, savannah grassland climate, south of the Sahara Desert, north of the tropical rain forests, While Mali was geographically isolated from the rest of the world (Photo right), the Malian rulers were renowned for their wealth in gold. Europeans became eager to obtain this gold, after learning about Mali’s location through Muslim and Jewish traders. Word of mouth was necessary, as Christian traders at the time, were prohibited from crossing Muslim controlled, North Africa, due to the resentment following the massacres of the Christian Crusades. The Italian map maker, Abraham Cresque was commissioned The map of Abraham Cresque, included a picture of Mansu by Charles V of France, to pin point the Mansa holding a golden scepter and gold nugget. location of Mali. The Cresques map included a hand drawn picture of Mansa Kanka Musa (ruler) holding a golden scepter in one hand, and a gold nugget in the other (photo to the right). Mansa Kanka Musa (hereafter referred to as Mansa Musa) was one of the most famous rulers, reigning from 1280-1337 AD, and, is reputed to be the richest man in history. His title meant king of kings. Mansa Musa established the city The Djinguereber Mosque, was buildt in the Western Sudanic style architecture, during the reign of Mansa Musa.
