Helpfulness
Since Djenne is a tourist and market town, the evening entertainment can be quite good. There are various festivals throughout the year, the most notable of which includes the plastering of the great mud mosque. But, on any given night, hotels will allow drums and dancers to entertain an audience. This entertainment is informal but very exciting to watch. All one needs is a drum in an African band, and the dancing of the women is energetic.
Dress Code: No dress code. This is a hot part of the world, so forget the tie. I'd wear shoes and it's always worthwhile considering whether or not the mosquitoes will bite.

Djenne is included on the list of the Unesco, patrimony of the humanity. They can not build any house made of cement without asking to the Unesco, so it is more or less like it was a long, long time...
