Getting around Mauritania
Long distances between towns. The Nouakchott-Nouadhibou road is paved; the SNIM iron-ore train from Choum is a famous but unreliable ride. Check the FCDO map first.
Key facts
- Driving: on the right. Foreign licences are rarely honoured; hire a local driver. Off-road desert routes need a guide and permission.
