Hey guys! A little while back, I asked a question on here about video games in Mauritania and I got an idea about gaming there, but my other question is: what years did gaming come to Mauritania?

Was it before 2000?

Was it in the 2000-2003 period?

Or was it later?-(2004-2005)

Thanks for your answers!!!

Hi, could anyone share a number for a cab driver? Not looking for complete fluency but if anyone has a cab driver they’ve had a good experience with, that would also be great

Anyone old enough to remember this period of time? Or had their parents speak about it? It’s not something the wider world often speak about.

Travelling to Mauritania in October and wondering if there’s any groups or ways to do a day trip from Atar to Chinguetti and possibly Ouadane? How reliable would be hiring/how easy is it to hire a private driver for the day?

Going through our itinerary and with what I’ve found in transportation timing/options getting to and visiting both may not work so trying to look at options. We’ll be coming from Terjit prior to.

TIA!

السلام عليكم to all my brothers and sisters, may Allah bless you all

I’m 19 from the UK (England) and I’m in college and finishing in around 5 months or so in sha Allah. My goal in life and the only thing I love is seeking knowledge and my dream is to leave the country and seek knowledge. I am trying to earn money and save as much as I can to go my parents will not really fund me much because they are not too interested in this and want me to just get a job and study in university worldly studies.

From my research I’ve narrowed it down and I want to go to Egypt or Mauritania I have seen people speaking about different countries to seek knowledge in Reddit and decided to make an account so I can ask for any advice and tips.

How much would it cost to study in Mauritiana monthly if I’m alone and on a budget , and where shall I study? I’d have studied Arabic for 10 months with a teacher around 2 days a week 1-1hr a lesson my understanding is Improving and ok but my speaking needs some more work. I was also wondering if anyone can help me when I get to Mauritania help me around for a short while because I know no one there.

If anyone would like to give advice and tips and help this will be beneficial.

Hello, I’m a traveller from a Sudanese background who is interested in visiting Mauritania. The culture is so interesting to me and feels close yet different. I wanted to ask whether locals would be able to understand the Sudanese dialect or if I would be able to get by speaking Fus7a. And what are locals general thoughts on foreigners?

I will travel to Mauritania (mainly Nouakchott and Nouadhibou) in a few days and I'm curious if there are any music shops to visit that sell vinyl or tapes?

There seemed to be a store called "Saphire D'Or". But unfortunately, according to internet posts, its operator Ahmed Vall passed away a few years ago.

This algerian guy made this post inciting ppl to clean their neighborhoods for keeping places clean, even if ppl keep litering, Because the good need to be done too, the good stand against the wrong,I just like what he's doing , it's an amazing movement and us as Muslims working together can make this movement bigger inshallah!

here's his post :

I think it would be cool to send some photos of the work done, for encouraging others to do the same inshallah

Hi guys, planning to enter Mauritania tomorrow but we were told we need e visas

Possible to enter and pay at arrival. Saw information they introduce mandatory e visas as of 5th January.. help!

As a Mauritanian, what's the thing that sets you apart from the world, and makes you nostalgic and great as a Mauritanian ?

Heading to Mauritania soon. Was wondering about the knife laws as I usually buy a pocket knife when travelling, is this possible in Mauritania?

I want to ride the iron ore Train, bug idk it kinda feels a bit to much effort to just fly there to only ride that train. Like cool but that's much for me...

Now I want to look out for other things to do there or planning a longer trip with maybe even more backpacking through nearby countries?

Idk I could've really find other great spots nearby and kinda need recommendations to get a great trip together to not just fly down there for a train ride...

Visiting shortly, have some questions. Thank you in advance for any help.

• Hotel recommendations for late night arrival in Nouakchott?
• Overnight recommendations for Terjit?
• How easy is it to pick up a taxi in places like Atar?
• Is there a bus route from Nouadhibou to Nouakchott?

The Iron Ore Train: A Journey Like No Other in Mauritania

The Iron Ore Train in Mauritania offers a truly unique travel experience across the Sahara Desert, transporting iron ore from the mines in Zouérat to the port city of Nouadhibou. Stretching over 704 kilometers, this iconic train has been in operation since the 1960s and has become an adventure for travelers seeking an authentic journey through some of the world's most breathtaking landscapes.

The train offers three ways to travel: passenger wagons, open-air freight cars, and luggage wagons. Whether you're looking for a more comfortable ride or a raw desert experience, there's an option for you. Despite the challenges of desert heat and dust, the Iron Ore Train promises unforgettable views, cultural connections, and a glimpse into Mauritania’s rich mining history.

Hey all,

I had some super tasty chilli paste served with Thieboudienne while in Atar. My host couldn't tell me the name of the paste but said that it's fairly common in Mauritania. Colour is dark (green-ish), had a decent kick to it and a slightly sour taste (potentially fermented?) Anyone know what that might be?

Thanks!

I want to visit Mauritania this year but want to feel safe and see the best parts of the country. Where can I find local guides that will show me around for a few days to a week? I want to see the country’s culture, ride the ore train, etc. but want to respect their customs and everything while I do it and not be an annoying tourist. I went to Morocco a few years ago and had a guide who drove us around the country and stopped in all the best cities and took us to try all the best foods. I was hoping for a similar experience. Cost isn’t super important right now, I’d rather spend more to have a fun, informative guide that will keep us safe as well!

Hello Everyone,
