The hand of Fatima – Mali

Few tourist know that in the Eastern Mali there are beautiful rock formations located around Hombori.
You can see them on the approach to the village from the west… 15 km before the village you will be impressed by the Hand of Fatima – the real, stone hand rising more then 1000 m above sea level…
There are two inexpensive campements in the village but do noe expect luxury. In Auberge Tondanko we paid 3000 CFA per bed. They say: – No mosquitoes in February, but there are so bring your net or repellent with you!
Shortage of the bread: there is a sort of open-air bakery – ask people for the way and wait until your bread will be ready /150 CFA per baguette/
