Shopping in Mauritania

  1. A

    Marché Capitale

    Marché Capitale offers a bit of everything. Potential souvenirs include brass teapots, silver jewellery, traditional wooden boxes with silver inlay, pipes, leather bags, sandals, cushions, beads and grigri. You'll find dress material, colourful Soninké tie-dyed material, Senegalese batiks and the inexpensive, crinkly malafa (fabric) that Moor women use as veils.
