KIDAL |
 | | Visitors are infrequent, due to the region's desert climate, sparse population and threat of violence stemming from the Tuareg rebellion of the late '90s. |
 | | Several kinds of animals have made their home in Kidal's often harsh environment, from the striped hyena to gazelles to gerboise and ratels. |
 | | Kidal is also distinguished by its handicrafts, particularly swords, including Tuareg sabers and cutlasses with leather scabbards. |
