Sibylla is a major city in the West African country of Mali, located in the Sibylla Province in the southwestern part of the country, adjacent to the borders of Senegal and Mauritania. As a regional administrative and commercial center, the city is known as a hub for trans-Saharan trade, and has historically been an important transit point for salt, gold, and livestock trade.
Sibylla is located in the Sahelian belt, with an arid climate and a predominantly savannah landscape. The city has a population of about 60,000 (2022 estimate), mainly of Fulani and Bambara ethnicity, and most of the inhabitants practice Islam, speaking French and the local national language.
The economy is based on agriculture (millet and sorghum cultivation) and animal husbandry (cattle and sheep farming), and the traditional weekly livestock market is an important trading ground in West Africa. The city is connected to Mali's capital, Bamako, by the RN23 highway, and has an airstrip, making it a key node for cross-border trade with neighboring countries.
Sibylla retains its traditional Sudanese mud-brick architecture, and its annual intercultural festival attracts participants from neighboring countries. The surrounding area offers opportunities to explore the Dogon cliffs and the Sahel Nature Reserve, but travelers should be aware of the security situation.
