Hello I’m a big fan of Mauritanian music (Dimi mint abba style) and I’m curious about other traditional music.
I will be there in the first week of November do you have any recommendations of places with live music?

Thanks a lot!!

Slam alikum hey I'm from south morocco, I'm interested in metal detecting and propsecting but unfortunately we can't do that in my country so i was looking online for the mauritanian mining laws and it says i can't prospect there unless I'm with someone

Thoughts on Koumba Diabaté? 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

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 Zouérat, 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 Zouérat, 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!

Hi everyone. I’m trying to find a job in Nouakchott and thought I’d post here in case anyone knows of any opportunities.
I’d love to work in a makeup or cosmetic store, or in telecommunications or customer service. I’m also open to trying something different if there’s a good opportunity.
I’m willing to learn and put in the effort.
If you know a place that’s hiring or have any advice on where I could start, please let me know. I’d really appreciate it.

I have two clients who enjoy luxury travel and are really passionate about history, architecture, art, food, and culture. They can do 4-star but would prefer 5-star. Can anyone suggest places to visit for a short 2-3-night trip? Hotels, places to see, local guides. All suggestions are welcome.

Hi everyone!

I am planning to ride the iron ore train the first week of January. I am both looking for general advice and if there are any way of meeting up with likeminded strangers who would accompany me on the trip as I am doing it solo.

I am planning to spend new years in Algeria and then afterwards travel to Mauritania to do the iron ore train and thereafter be back in Algeria by January 10th to fly back home!

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?

Hello, we are two people planning a trip around Mauritania next week. We are looking for direct transportation options from Nouadhibou to Atar (without passing through Noukachott).

Could you recommend transportation options or drivers in the region?

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!

I want to support a family member (not educated) but very responsible. He has a chronic disease and shouldn’t be stressed too much. What small but very stable project can I open for him for 1 million ouguiya or else. The goal is for him to sustain himself and have pocket money. His housing and food is already covered by his family.

Hi everyone! I’m a Hassaniya teacher, teaching the dialect to non-native speakers. If anyone is interested in learning Hassaniya or practicing, feel free to DM

¡Hola! Tengo nacionalidad colombiana, pero soy residente en España, y hace poco solicité una e-visa para ir a Mauritania en noviembre. Me la han rechazado dos veces. ¿A alguien más le ha pasado y ha podido solucionarlo? 🙏

We're four (maybe five) people looking for someone willing to drive us from the border entry from west sahara to Zouerat on the 2nd of nov. It's a long drive, so a stop on the way is probably needed.
Please get in touch if you've made the drive before and have a quota for the trip.

I'm a native Portuguese speaker who also speaks English fluently. I'm currently looking for any remote work, freelance projects, or local opportunities where my language combination could be useful.
Whether it's translation, language practice/ teaching, transcription, research, or customer service, I'm flexible and eager to help out.
Drop me a message or comment if you know ot any open roles, gigs, or leads. Thanks!

Hello, my name is Nicolas Rosal. I am a film student based in Barcelona, Spain. I am planning to take a trip to Mauritania to film a documentary on the everyday life of somebody who regularly takes the train for business, family, etc...

If anyone has any info about the trip, I would like to travel from Nouadhibou to Zouerat and the way back. Also, and more importantly, if anybody knows someone who takes this trip and you think is charismatic and interesting to film, please put me in contact! Thanks!

Hello, I’m currently looking for an evening job, ideally from 4:00 pm to 10:00 or 11:00 pm or from 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm If possible, I would especially like a position where I can use my English skills and communicate with English speaking customers.
