Mopti
	Mopti always was and remains a commercial center. With its location at the junction of the two rivers Niger and Bani it has always been an important harbour, where salt, fish and cloth have been traded. Today it still is one of the most colourful markets in Mali.
When entering Mopti look to the left: The Mosque
