Mopti

During the flood season, Mopti becomes a series of islands connected by raised causeways.

Mopti was a village until the French conquest at the end of the 19th century.

The Great Mosque of Mopti was constructed using sun-dried mud bricks and is based on the design of the Great Mosque of Djenné.

Mopti is Mali's most important port and serves as the region's commercial center.

Mopti has a hot semi-arid climate with average daily maximum temperatures exceeding 40 °C in the hottest months.
