Are group tours cheaper? Group tours are usually cheaper than private. However, it would be best if you also considered that group tours save you a lot of time in research, organization, and booking your trip and activities. Welcome to our Mauritania tours. The Atlantic shoreline around Nouadhibou is devastatingly beautiful, with the wrecks of ships catching the imagination of pioneers of another era before heading inland towards the world’s third-largest monolithic site of Ben Amera, which casts shade over the desert like a gigantic ancient sun clock.
Are group tours cheaper? Group tours are usually cheaper than private. However, it would be best if you also considered that group tours save you a lot of time in research, organization, and booking your trip and activities. This Mauritania overland expedition takes you from the Capital, Nouakchott, to the remote hinterland of the Adrar, along with a small group of like-minded travelers like yourself accompanied by expert local guides to help you get the best of Mauritania overland culture and adventure. The trip starts from Nouakchott across vast swathes of desert, visits the ancient caravan terminal Trans-Sahara trade at Chinguetti and Ouadane, drives along the natural and little-visited coastline, and then heads off on a desert expedition into the Sahara. Exploring Mauritania, you'll travel overland past dunes, salt swamps, and mountains to Chinguetti. This almost deserted stone town was once the capital of the Moorish Empire and still holds a library with a fascinating collection of ancient books and manuscripts.
On this classic Mauritania tour, you will encounter nomadic settlements under Goat hair tents and transhuman villages mainly of pastors and camel herders; you will also visit Imragen villages and hear about the symbiotic existence of fishermen and dolphins. Mauritania's capital, Nouakchott, creates an exciting starting point for our seven-day expedition exploring natural sites and lagoons with the bird species of Banc d'Arguin National Park and monk seals at Cap Blanc making in contrast to the arid desert with wildlife watching encounters way off the traditional stomping ground of binocular wielding twitchers. What is the best time to visit Mauritania? Spring or fall is the best time. The Atlantic shoreline around Nouadhibou is devastatingly beautiful, with the wrecks of ships catching the imagination of pioneers of another era before heading inland towards the world's third-largest monolithic site, Ben Amera, which casts shade over the desert like a gigantic ancient sun clock.
