Mauritania

Atlas World essential guide

THE ATLAS LUME VIEW

The caravan towns of Chinguetti and Ouadane, ancient centres of Islamic learning deep in the Sahara, hold out against advancing dunes. Atlas Lume suggests reading Mauritania through its landscapes, neighbourhoods, transport and living culture, with the context needed to plan with judgement rather than collect places.

Nuakchot works as a practical reference point, but every route should adapt to distances and season. The main language is Arabic, the currency is Uguiya mauritana and the generally recommended time to go is November to March. Always confirm entry requirements, conditions and services with official sources before travelling.
