    Have any of you heard of the Festival in the Desert (Festival du Desert in French)?

    It is a traditional event near the mythical city of Timbuktu in Mali, West Africa. Created by the Tuareg tribes to celebrate their rich cultural heritage and to sort out any differences over a nice glass of tea, this festival has now become World renowned for its uniqueness and big music names such as Amadou & Mariam, Tinariwen, Vieux Farka Toure and Bassekou Touyate!

    Here is one of our newest listings on West Africa Discovery, a 20 day country tour of Mali including a traditional boat cruise on the Niger River allowing you to experience the slow paced life of the river-folk and a trip down to the Sotuh of Mali, home to the mystical Dogon tribe who are said to worship the Sirius Star.
