Timbuktu (Tombouctou)

Monument sights in Timbuktu (Tombouctou)

  1. Flamme de la Paix

    On the northwestern outskirts of town, the striking Flamme de la Paix monument is worth visiting. It was built on the spot where 3000 weapons were ceremonially burnt at the end of the Tuareg rebellion. The monument is where Timbuktu meets the desert, so continue on to enter the dunes.
