Mauritania - Facts

Nov 30, 2021
  • Stretching along the west coast of Africa between Morocco and Senegal, a large part of Mauritania is the Sahara Desert. The republic is based on an Islamic socialist constitution and a traditional Muslim society and does not particularly encourage tourism.
  • A long coastline has very few natural harbors and the never-ending sandy beaches are its most remarkable feature. For those in search of solitude this might be sufficient attraction, but otherwise, the country has very little to offer the cruising sailor.
  • The only repair facilities available are at Nouakchott where there is a shipyard which may take on work on a yacht in an emergency. Fuel is available in both ports and also some basic provisioning.
  • The security situation generally is not good and the latest travel advisories should be checked before visiting the country.
