Introducing The Adrar

Here is the jewel in Mauritania’s crown. North of the country, the Adrar boasts exceptional natural wonders and distinctive cultural sights. There are the ancient Saharan towns of Chinguetti and Ouadâne, mighty sand dunes that look sculpted by an artist, mellow oases where you can unwind under a Moorish tent, and grandiose basaltic plateaus. Camel rides, trekking routes and even hot-air ballooning are on offer. For desert aficionados, the Adrar is simply a must.
