Watch a sunset from the labyrinthine lanes of the old city in Chinguetti<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spend your dusk on the labyrinthine lanes and you are in for a treat. Local bring their own chairs and set up to watch the time go by. Hawkers wander up and down, selling sweet treat of hot nuts, corn and tea.

Experience the magic of the Sahara<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are not many places in the world where you can opt to spend the night in the desert. Enjoy the rare pleasure of closing your eyes to the star-studded skies at the saffron dunes in the Adrar.

Small alleyways that appear to lead nowhere, actually lead to plush squares where elegant fountains shoot sprays of water and children play among stalls of spices. Don&#8217;t miss the Plage du Wharf where you can shop for beautiful carpets. Spend the day wandering the streets of Nouakchott &#8211; It&#8217;s time well spent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40235\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1391252_1696450733967539_216286718_n.jpg\" alt=\"travelstart-mauritania\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h6>photo credit|\u00a0alejandritavs via Instagram<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #00ccff;\">4.

Kick back on the gloriously golden beaches in Nouadhibou which have turned into an unexpected surfing hotspot and this is certainly the best time to catch some big waves. If you have a 4&#215;4 vehicle it is possible to drive along the beach or you can rather opt to jaunt along the coastlines. Whether you\u2019re watching the sun rise between the beautiful shapes of the Adrar Desert or the shimmering horizon from the comfort of a hot spring in Cap Blanc, Mauritania landscapes are endlessly fascinating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40237\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/22351688_1922495101406989_7090348822185902080_n.jpg\" alt=\"travelstart-mauriania\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>There&#8217;s nothing like dipping into the cool Atlantic Ocean!
