Introducing Nouâdhibou
With the new tar road connecting the Moroccan border to Nouakchott, the fishing port of Nouâdhibou has lost much of its raison d’être for travellers, who prefer to dash to the capital or to the Adrar region. It’s a good base, though, if you plan to visit Banc d’Arguin. The setting is also appealing: Nouâdhibou is on the Baie du Lévrier, in the middle of a narrow 35km-long peninsula.

There are several bureaux de change along the city’s main drag, Blvd Médian, and most of the internet outlets along here also double as telephone offices. The ‘station’ is about 5km south of town. If they have not done it at the border, overland travellers with vehicles must buy insurance at any insurance company in town.
