Mauritania

3.7
Piers & Boardwalks Nature & Parks Sacred & Religious Sites
Vast, sparse, and unexplored by international visitors, Mauritania consists mainly of desert landscapes. In the north, the desert breaks into rocky massifs, hiding a collection of World Heritage-listed caravan towns, highlights of many adventurous Mauritania itineraries. Much of the country's Atlantic coast has been protected as part of a national park, and its wealth of migratory birds make holidays in Mauritania particularly popular with nature lovers. Mauritania is in Africa. Our Mauritania trip planner combines visitor reviews with your personal interests to make an itinerary informed by experts, but tailored to suit your style.
