Mauritania

Why to travel Mauritania

Mauritania, an enchanting gem in Northwest Africa, offers a mesmerizing blend of breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and unique cultural experiences. This vast desert nation captivates adventurers with its endless dunes of the Sahara, home to the iconic Adrar Plateau and the stunning UNESCO-listed Banc d'Arguin National Park, a paradise for bird watchers. Witness the surreal beauty of the Richat Structure, also known as the "Eye of the Sahara," a natural geological wonder that has intrigued scientists and explorers for years. Discover the ancient trading city of Chinguetti, often referred to as the "City of Libraries," where time seems to stand still amidst its historic architecture and priceless manuscripts. For a glimpse into Mauritania’s diverse culture, Nouakchott, the capital city, offers vibrant markets like the Marché Capitale and pristine beaches along the Atlantic coast. Don’t miss the opportunity to ride the world's longest train, the Iron Ore Train, which provides a rugged yet unforgettable journey through the desert. Mauritania is a hidden treasure for those seeking off-the-beaten-path adventures, offering a chance to explore untouched beauty and immerse oneself in a land where history and nature harmoniously converge.
