Lake Faguibine (located at 16°45′N 4°0′W) is a dry lake in Mali, lying west of Timbuktu. It was a major body of water and a centre for early civilisation in the area. Cave paintings are found on cliffs on its former northern shore. It later became important to the Ghana Empire. The lake has been dry since the late 1980s (sahel drought).
