I have never visited The Great Mosque of Djenne in person, yet I have watched many television documentaries. It is by far the largest building in the entire world made of mud. What happens when it rains you may be asking- Seeing it is in the middle of our planets largest desert, this problem does not come up to often and when it does, the entire community comes together to gather, mix and apply fresh mud to shore up the damage the rain brings to the mosques massive walls. Don’t go buying a ticket and picking your seat by the emergency exit just yet, westerners are not allowed inside due to a film company violating the great building by filming an illegal type of film years ago.

What an incredibly astounding and remarkable place. The mosque and old town are historic heritage sites. The sand in the mosque is turned over once a year, and the prayer carpets were donated by the citizens. You can access a rooftop view by kindly asking (my guide asked), one of the adjacent citizens’ houses. On Monday, it overlooks the large market, where many villagers hawk their goods. To visit the inside, you give whatever donation you can, and a clergyman will walk you through the men and women sections. Women will need a head cover.
