Description

The Bandiagara Escarpment is an escarpment in the Dogon country — in the Sahel region of Mali.

The sandstone cliff rises about 500 meters above the lower sandy flats to the south. It has a length of approximately 150 kilometers. The area of the escarpment is inhabited today by the Dogon people. Before the Dogon the escarpment was inhabited by the Tellem and Toloy. Many structures remain from the Tellem.

The Bandiagara Escarpment was listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1989.
