Port de Peche

Fishermen return from the sea each evening and sell their fresh catch at this portside fish market.

Reviewed By LucJones - Moscow, Russia

Loved our trip here, which was put together by Time For Mauritania, who were fantastic. I would thoroughly recommend them and the sight of so many boats returning to the shore after a day’s fishing was incredible. As far as I could see, we were the only tourists when we visited, and although it’s a working port, some locals grill fish on the beach and we were offered to try some. Mauritania is still emerging as a travel destination and has a long way to go, but get there before it becomes too popular !!
