Budget & Tips

In Mauritania, the immensity of the desert will be your playground! The Atlantic Ocean is also a magnificent counterpart to the Sahara, with its immense beaches and its designed coastline. If you like walking, hiking, trekking or camel trekking will make you a happy traveler.

What's very local

The most local sport revolves around the dromedary! Riding this animal is not an easy task, but with the help of Mauritanians, it will be easy. For fishing lovers, this destination is also a dream. Note: petanque is practiced in the country!

Finally, if you go to the Arguin Bank, don't miss a trip in a Canary boat, the long sailing boat used by Imraguen fishermen. They have the advantage of being able to approach the islands in silence without disturbing the birds, and you can admire the dexterity of the Imraguans who drive them without difficulty in the channels of the Arguin Bank, knowing the tides. You can even witness their elegant way of fishing, and taste a grilled mullet on the lanche.
