Pluribus? Anyone?

2 Upvotes

Thoughts on Koumba DiabatĆ©? Was he an accurate representation of Mauritanians? I’ll give them credit for at least casting a Mauritanian actor, but honestly, I think they should’ve done a lot more research. The character doesn’t really sound or act Mauritanian, if you know what I mean. He just doesn’t feel like your typical Mauritanian. Like do they even know that Mauritania is a muslim majority counry?? The only thing they got surprisingly right was how chill he was about everything going on around him. That part was spot-on for a Mauritanian, lmao.

I still haven't finished the show, so no spoilers pls

Irone ore train in october

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, if my visa gets approved, I’m planning to arrive in Mauritania around October 22–23. Just wanted to see if anyone else is planning to be there around that time and would be up for joining me. We’re planning to make our own way from the capital to ZouĆ©rat, so just checking if anyone wants to tag along or even just meet up while we’re there!
I also wanted to ask if it’s possible to find out the train departure times once we’re there, and if there’s anyone local who could arrange a ride to the train for us. We don’t want a guide for the whole journey from the capital to ZouĆ©rat, just someone who could give us the info we need and possibly drive us to the train. Does anyone know if it’s possible to find someone like that locally?
Thanks!

A night at Terjit: what staying at a Saharan oasis was actually like

3 Upvotes

I visited Terjit during my overland journey through Morocco and Mauritania, before continuing towards Chinguetti and the iron ore train. I'd asked questions here while planning the trip, so I wanted to share what this stop was actually like.

The contrast is what stayed with me: dry desert on the approach, then shade, date palms and flowing water inside the oasis. I stayed at Camp Jemal, met other travelers over dinner, went out early the next morning and eventually had a swim in the spring-fed pool.

A few notes from my visit:

• Camp Jemal was my base, with rooms and tents under the palms.

• The oasis pool was a short walk from camp — under ten minutes in my case.

• Staying overnight gave me time for both the evening and the following morning, rather than rushing through as a quick stop.

• Check current transport and accommodation directly before going; I wouldn't assume my trip's arrangements still apply.

It wasn't only the scenery. The people I met, the shared meal and the small, sometimes funny moments getting there are a big part of why I remember Terjit.

For transparency, I filmed the trip and this is my own video, if you'd like to see the route, camp and oasis: https://youtu.be/wD3FoCovy_I

If you've stayed in Terjit, what would you tell someone visiting for the first time?

Moving to Nouakchott, Mauritania — Need Honest Advice

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a woman from Pakistan and have been offered a teaching job at an international school in Nouakchott. I’m considering moving there alone and would appreciate honest advice from anyone living in Mauritania or working at international schools there.

I’d love to hear about the school’s reputation, working conditions, salary reliability, and life for foreign women.

My biggest concern is personal safety, especially the risk of human trafficking or exploitation. Am I worrying unnecessarily, or are there genuine risks I should know about?

I’d really appreciate honest advice and firsthand experiences. Thank you!
