Comfort and safety are our priorities. Car and motorcycle parking nearby, possibility of bivouacking in the Mauritanian desert, visits to small villages and natural sites, 4x4 off-road tours
I welcome the traveler, guide them in the city and advise them on transiting to neighboring Senegal, for example, or on accessing the Sahara train between Zouerat, Atar, and Nouadihbou.
