Nouakchott (/nwɑːkˈʃɒt/; French pronunciation: [nwakʃɔt]; Arabic: نواكشوط Nuwākshūṭ, originally derived from Berber Nawākšūṭ, place of the winds)[1] is the capital and largest city of Mauritania. It is one of the largest cities in the Sahara.[2] The city also serves as the administrative and economic centre of Mauritania.
Nouakchott was a small village of little importance until 1958, when it was chosen as the capital of the nascent nation of Mauritania. It was designed and built to accommodate 15,000 people, but droughts and increasing desertification since the 1970s have displaced a vast number of Mauritanians who resettled in Nouakchott. This caused massive urban growth and overcrowding, with the city having an official population of just under a million as of 2013. The resettled population inhabited slum areas under poor conditions, but the living conditions of a portion of these inhabitants have since been ameliorated.

map of Mauritania Africa
Mauritania ; Arabic: موريتانيا, Mūrītānyā, French: Mauritanie; Berber: Agawej or Cengit; Pulaar: 𞤃𞤮𞤪𞤭𞤼𞤢𞤲𞤭 Moritani; Wolof: Gànnaar; Soninke: Murutaane), officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (Arabic: الجمهورية الإسلامية الموريتانية), is a sovereign state in Northwest Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Western Sahara to the north and northwest, Algeria to the northeast, Mali to the east and southeast, and Senegal to the southwest. Mauritania is the eleventh largest country in Africa, and 90 percent of its territory is situated in the Sahara. Most of its population of 4.4 million lives in the temperate south of the country, with roughly one third concentrated in the capital and largest city, Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast.
The country's name derives from the ancient Berber kingdom of Mauretania, located in present-day Morocco and Algeria. Berbers occupied what is now Mauritania beginning in the third century AD. Arabs conquered the area in the eighth century, bringing Islam, Arab culture, and the Arabic language. In the early 20th century, Mauritania was colonized by France as part of French West Africa. It achieved independence in 1960, but has since experienced recurrent coups and periods of military dictatorship. The most recent coup, in 2008, was led by General Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who won subsequent presidential elections in 2009 and 2014. He was succeeded by Mohamed Ould Ghazouani following the 2019 elections, which were considered Mauritania's first peaceful transition of power since independence.
Mauritania is culturally and politically part of the Arab world: it is a member of the Arab League and Arabic is the sole official language. Reflecting its colonial heritage, French is widely spoken and serves as a lingua franca. The official religion is Islam, and almost all inhabitants are Sunni Muslims. Despite its prevailing Arab identity, Mauritanian society is multiethnic: the Bidhan, or so-called white moors, make up 30 percent of the population, while the Haratin, or so-called black moors, comprise 40 percent. Both groups reflect a fusion of Arab-Berber ethnicity, language, and culture. The remaining 30 percent of the population is made up of various sub-Saharan ethnic groups.
Despite an abundance of natural resources, including iron ore and petroleum, Mauritania remains poor; its economy is based primarily on agriculture, livestock, and fishing. Mauritania is known for its poor human rights record, most notably the continued practice of slavery, a result of a historical caste system between the Bidhan and Haratin. It was the last country in the world to abolish slavery, in 1981 and criminalized it only in 2007. Control is tightly concentrated in the executive branch of the central government, but a series of national and municipal elections since 1992 have produced limited decentralization. These regions are subdivided into 44 departments (moughataa). The regions and capital district (in alphabetical order) and their capitals are:

A breathtaking 18-day 4x4 Expedition full of adventure toward Dakar in my standard Land Rover Discovery II.
It's a Trans-Saharan adventure that connects two continents: Europe and Africa, and crosses five countries: Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Mauritania & Senegal.
The crossing from Mauritania #11 days provides technical feats with much sand and tracks passages and Senegal #3 days provide a totally different world, as you drive back along the magical beaches of the shores of Mauritania and Senegal.
Although they are small samples, I hope you enjoy this videos as much as we enjoy bringing them to you.
Special thanks to the entire LeirividaTT team who provided this expedition at the highest level.

Ep. 1/9 NOUADHIBOU - NOUAKCHOTT, dunes et océan en Mauritanie. La côte sauvage du Sahara en 2CV 4x4.
Des dunes flottantes aux caps rocheux en passant par les vasières piégeuses la côte mauritanienne nous a réservé bien des surprises...
From floating dunes to rocky capes passing through tricky mudflats, the Mauritanian coast has many surprises in store for us...
في من الكثبان الرملية العائمة إلى الرؤوس الصخرية عبر المسطحات الطينية الصعبة ، يخبئنا الساحل الموريتاني العديد من المفاجآت ...
Quand le Sahara rencontre l'océan les paysages sont somptueux, mais ils se méritent et mieux vaut s'y aventurer en connaissance de cause pour éviter de se retrouver dans des vasières inextricables.
When the Sahara meets the ocean the landscapes are sumptuous, but they are deserved and it is better to venture there knowingly to avoid ending up in inextricable mudflats.
عندما تلتقي الصحراء بالمحيط ، تكون المناظر الطبيعية فخمة ، لكنها تستحق ومن الأفضل المغامرة هناك عن قصد لتجنب أن ينتهي بك الأمر في سهول طينية لا تنفصم.
La solution est pourtant simple : ne pas sortir des traces.
The solution, however, is simple: do not leave the traces.
لكن الحل بسيط: لا تترك المسار.
Mais si vous voulez atteindre des sites reculés de toute beauté il faudra alors, dans les zones à risques, rouler à 15 km/h en 2x4 et les pneus dégonflés.
But if you want to reach remote sites of great beauty, in risk areas, you will have to drive at 15 km/h in a 2x4 with deflated tires.
ولكن إذا كنت ترغب في الوصول إلى المواقع النائية ذات الجمال الرائع ، في المناطق الخطرة ، فسيتعين عليك القيادة بسرعة 15 كم / ساعة في سيارة 2 × 4 بإطارات مفرغة من الهواء.
Et quand le véhicule s'enfonce, passer le 4x4 et reculer, voir poser les plaques sable (des bonnes plaques sable !!!). En suivant ce protocole vous pourrez aller presque partout.
And when the vehicle sinks, pass the 4x4 and back up, see how to lay the sand plates (good sand plates!!!). By following this protocol you will be able to go almost anywhere.
وعندما تغرق السيارة ، مرر 4x4 وانطلق احتياطيًا ، شاهد كيفية وضع الألواح الرملية (ألواح الرمل الجيدة !!!). باتباع هذا البروتوكول ، ستتمكن من الذهاب إلى أي مكان تقريبًا.
A contrario, si vous rouler déjà en 4x4 et à 50 km/h, vous serez loin au milieu de la vasière quand votre 4x4 s'enfoncera, et dans l'impossibilité d'en sortir sans de gros gros efforts.
On the other hand, if you are already driving in a 4x4 and at 50 km/h, you will already be well in the middle of the mudflat when your 4x4 sinks, and unable to get out without great effort.
من ناحية أخرى ، إذا كنت تقود بالفعل سيارة دفع رباعي وبسرعة 50 كم / ساعة ، فستكون بالفعل في منتصف السطح الطيني عندما تغرق سيارتك 4x4 ، ولن تتمكن من الخروج دون بذل جهد كبير.
Au delà des paysages magnifiques vous croiserez une foule d'oiseaux, les fameux phoques moines, des dauphins et toute une petite faune sauvage.
Beyond the magnificent landscapes you will come across a host of birds, the famous monk seals, dolphins and a whole range of small wild animals.
ما وراء المناظر الطبيعية الرائعة سوف تصادف مجموعة من الطيور ، فقمة الراهب الشهيرة ، والدلافين ومجموعة كاملة من الحيوانات البرية الصغيرة.
Vous pourrez aussi faire un tour en lanche (barque à voile) dans les canaux du Parc Nationale du Banc d'Arguin pour approcher d'encore plus près les oiseaux.
You can also take a ride in a lanche (sailing boat) in the canals of the Banc d'Arguin National Park to get even closer to the birds.
يمكنك أيضًا القيام بجولة في لانش (قارب شراعي) في قنوات منتزه بانك دارجوين الوطني للاقتراب أكثر من الطيور.
Vous serez sans nul doute invité par des pêcheurs, à savourer un poisson fraichement attrapé !
You will undoubtedly be invited by fishermen to savor a freshly caught fish !
ستتم دعوتك بلا شك من قبل الصيادين لتذوق الأسماك الطازجة !
