If you cannot adopt the sandales of the desert people, then have good boots and nothing else. Immediately adopt local clothing and forget the rest. You have to go to the market (best supported by a local) and buy that on place, notably the aoli to cover your head. Less than 9 meters make no sense.
Be careful with the sand, the finest I ever saw, like talc powder...criminal for cameras. Leave a Comment

One bag. Resisstant for multiples crashes when you travel in desert.
Cotton clothes.Long sleeves t-shirts and long trousers. Sandals.Turbant or a hat covering your neck.
Sunglasses.
Higienic paper. Little wet towels. Sun protector.Mosquito repelent spray.Antidiarreical tablets. Analgesics. Sticking plasters.Bandages.Medical alcohol.
Mosquito net
Itīs quite difficult to re-charge your batteries, so bring the maximum number of batteries with you. you only could re-charge in big cities: Nuakchott, Atar, Nuadhibou.
If you take a photographic camera two recommendations:
Too many films (itīs rare to find them at shops)and good lens (minimum 150 mm) because it will be useful in case you want to take a picture of persons.
Best sites for camping are dunes. Not official sites.
Beaches are excellent (although some rubbish in the seashore). Leave a Comment

Cotton, long sleeve garments, sunglasses, something to cover your head (better a turban, if you can), sandals (free your feet from the heat, scorpions are nice).
If you are going to the south, near Senegal River (Keur Massene....), vaccination against malaria is obligatory (I did not and nothing happened). Mosquitos are cruel there (the sound is terrible in the wet station (sound like a washing machine).
Take as many films as you can as it is very difficult to buy good quality films there.
Highly recommended. Stars are wonderful, but nights are fresh in autumn, and cold in winter. Leave a Comment
