             174.  Timbuktu, Mali — There is an air of mystery and a feeling of desolation surrounding people’s conception of Timbuktu, perhaps associated with visions of the place from old movies about Africa. The city is located at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert and became important as the terminus of the caravan trade route from West Africa to the Mediterranean Sea. It is still important commercially for the salt trade. (Walking Tour available for purchase on website)
