Mopti Region, Administrative region in central Mali.
The Mopti region extends along the Niger and Bani rivers, encompassing wetlands, villages, and the ancient city of Djenné with its earthen architecture.
The region gained administrative importance during French colonization, transforming from scattered settlements into a structured territory with Mopti city as its capital.
Multiple ethnic groups including Dogon, Fulani, Bambara, Bozo, and Songhai maintain their traditions through markets, festivals, and craft production throughout the region.
Regular bus connections link major towns within the region, while boat transportation on the Niger River provides access to remote riverside communities.
The region contains the Dogon Country, where communities have constructed dwellings along a 150-kilometer-long escarpment, creating distinct architectural patterns.
