Mauritania
Capital · Nouakchott
Mauritania, with its capital Nouakchott sitting on the Atlantic edge of the Sahara, draws visitors and business travellers with a distinctive blend of desert landscape and emerging opportunity. The economy leans heavily on iron ore mining, fishing, and increasingly on oil and gas exploration, making it a destination of real commercial interest. Travellers explore the ancient caravan city of Chinguetti, sail the Banc d'Arguin coastal waters, and wander Nouakchott's Marché Capitale for handwoven textiles, silver jewellery, leather goods, and aromatic spices rooted in centuries of trans-Saharan trade.
