Favorite thing: This warehouse is right in front of Friday's mosque in "ville" district. Nouadhibou is the economic capital of Mauritania and it?s a very busy city in terms of business. It never stops. You can see business being made all time everywhere

Favorite thing: Senegalese district after ?ville? near the rail tracks. Senegalese are a very important part of Mauritania. Although deeply discriminated by white moors, they are very important economically. All fishermen are Senegalese, either Wolof or Poular. Lots of other commercial goods are sold and brought from Senegal.

Favorite thing: Nouadhibou and Mauritania in general is deep affected by poverty.
There are two major districts where porr people live. The one north after Numerowat and this one in the "ville". On your way from the Friday’s mosque and the rail track this is what you find. Little houses made of whatever comes to hand. The desert here is a constant presence and with that sand interferes with the landscape melting away soil and metal houses.

Favorite thing: I don't know whether I could see such an old truck in such a bad condition. I wonder what a paleontologist could say after a carbon 14 datation test.
I saw that riding on the road.

Like everywhere in Mauritania, people leave their trash everywhere.
