What to Know About Kidal
Key Facts
Kidal is a region located in the northeastern part of Mali, serving as one of the country's administrative regions. Situated in the heart of the Sahara Desert, Kidal occupies a vast, arid territory characterized by rocky plateaus, sand dunes, and sparse vegetation. The region covers approximately 151,430 square kilometers, making it one of Mali's larger administrative divisions, though it remains sparsely populated with an estimated population of around 67,000 people. Kidal is divided into four cercles (districts): Kidal, Abeïbara, Tessalit, and Tin-Essako, each containing multiple communes that serve as the basic administrative units. Historically significant as a center of Tuareg culture and nomadic traditions, the region's economy relies primarily on pastoralism, salt mining, and limited trade. The regional capital, also named Kidal, functions as the main urban center and administrative hub in this remote desert landscape.
