MAURITANIA
Travel Guide
Tailor-made routes:
your adventure, your way
Looking to watch birds? To photograph uni-
que landscapes? To experience the silence
of the desert, as a couple or alone? In Mauri-
tania, the circuits adapt to your wishes. Local
operators offer flexibility in duration, comfort,
languages, and goals. You come up with the
idea—they help you make it happen.
Travelling to Mauritania is not just about disco-
vering extreme landscapes or age-old stories.
It’s also about accepting an invisible code: that
of respect. Every encounter matters. Every
gesture leaves a mark. Choosing local guides,
sleeping in family homes, sharing bread and
silence—that, too, is part of the journey.
Here, luxury isn’t measured in stars, but in real
moments. Tea under the khaïma with a no-
mad. A windy night on a train platform. A walk
among palm trees rising from the dust. You
take all of this with you. But you also leave
something behind: a different way of seeing,
of behaving, of being.
The essence of this journey doesn’t fit in pho-
tos or phrases. It stays inside, quietly. Becau-
se there are countries that don’t just teach
you something—they change you. Mauritania
is one of them.
The Grand Tour: 14 days
through cultures and
landscapes
It’s not a circuit. It’s a total experience. In two wee-
ks, Mauritania confronts you with what’s essential:
cities suspended in time, landscapes that seem
otherworldly, routes that don’t forgive, and silences
that teach more than a thousand words. This is not
a country for quick tourism. You have to earn it. And
when you do, it gives you back something unforge-
ttable.
This journey isn’t summed up in stops. It’s measu-
red in encounters, glances, crossed paths. If you’re
willing to look without filters, to move with respect,
and to let yourself be changed, this tour is for you.
From the libraries of Chinguetti, where dust protects
centuries-old manuscripts, to the cliffs of Banc d’Ar-
guin, where the dunes sink into the sea, every step
reveals a deep layer of history and austere beauty.
The Grand Tour is also a lesson in humility before
the immensity of the desert, where time is measured
by the wind and the landscapes shift shape as if they
were breathing. You’ll sleep under untouched skies,
share tea with nomads, and travel along tra cks whe-
re GPS is barely a secondary reference.
