What to do and see in Nouakchott, Mauritania: The Best Things to do
The Saharan city of Nouakchott was a small fishing village until 1957, when Mauritania attained independence. The new capital city of a young country, Nouakchott has changed quite a bit since the Sixties, with mosques, government buildings, and street markets rising up out of the desert sand. Spread out over land that constantly being encroached upon by massive dunes, and inhabited by a nomadic people that don't keep their tents pitched in one place for very long, the city is always in flux.

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 !!
