About Nouakchott, Mauritania

Don’t miss the lively Port de Peche, where you can watch the local fisherman hauling in the day’s catch and laying the fish out to dry. At the lively on-site market, you’ll find a diverse array of fresh seafood. The best time to visit is in the late afternoon when the colourfully painted pirogue boats return from a day out at sea.

Nouakchott’s city skyline is peppered with mosques, with the most impressive being the sand-coloured Saudi Mosque with its soaring twin minarets.
