Mauritania Adventure Travel Guide
Mauritania is a pure desert-adventure destination with ancient libraries, dunes, Atlantic birdlife and one of the world’s most unusual train journeys.
How visitors can enjoy Mauritania
Use Nouakchott as the gateway and arrange desert travel with experienced drivers, satellite communication and proper supplies. The iron ore train is an extreme experience and should be planned with realistic safety expectations.
Travel reminder: Adventure conditions, park access, weather, safety rules and visa requirements may change. Confirm the latest route and entry information before booking.
