Mauritania

Ancient caravan towns of Chinguetti and Ouadane, once important Saharan trading posts, with centuries-old mosques and manuscript libraries. The Sahara Desert with endless sand dunes, including the dramatic Azoueiga and Erg Amatlich. The Eye of the Sahara (Richat Structure) – a striking circular geological formation visible even from space. Nouakchott’s fishing port and markets – colourful pirogues lined up on the beach and lively local souks. Nomadic culture – meeting herding families and experiencing traditional desert hospitality. Adrar Plateau – rugged landscapes dotted with oases, caves, and prehistoric rock art. Terjit Oasis – a palm-fringed valley with natural springs and pools, offering respite from the desert heat. Atar – the gateway town to the Adrar region, with vibrant markets and local crafts. Desert camping under the stars – enjoying Mauritania’s vast skies and silence of the Sahara.
