For four weeks we traveled through Mali, and it has made our list of one of the best countries we've ever been to. The people are friendly, the landscapes are beautiful, and the food is good. We were able to immerse ourselves into the Malian culture and see the country in ways that we never would have imagined.
Dogon Market
The Dogon week only has five days. Each Dogon village is named after the day of the week for which it hosts the market. Since there are many Dogon villages, many of these small settlements have the same name. On market day in a village, people come from all of the surrounding villages to trade their wares, food, and crafts. It is also a time to socialize and make romantic matches for children of a certain age.
