Kidal

Kidal is the least developed of the regions of Mali - it is the poorest and  least populated, comprised entirely of Sahara desert. There are no paved roads.

The people are primarily Tamashek (Touareg).

Yet despite Kidal is also a charming place. Though the architecture and setting are unremarkable, the people are friendly and laid-back. Perhaps because it sees fewer tourists than other parts of Mali there are fewer pushy "guides". Kidal is also a good place to arrange a tour of the beautiful Adrar des Iforhas mountains.
