Timbuktu is an African city in the Saharan desert. It was built up around a large oasis and was the center of the Trans-Saharan trade routes. The city was the center of th Mali Empire for much of its history but as the Arab traders began to take control over trade the city fell into disrepair. The city was a potent commercial center even after the fall of the Mali but with the loss of wealth and the coming of the Portuguese the city was mostly abandoned.
