johnsakura Says: I have to show you this again, I just cant stop puting them here on the must see activity tip, cos for me it is a MUST SEE! Rock along with sand are one of my favorite things to see in landscapes, it has a special magical ambiance that I cant really explaine. In fact apart...
johnsakura Says: I've showed you the big brown rock formations, these are other kinds of them that you'll also find on the way to Terjit. I just love the way sand get to the tops of the rocks. An unusual scenery everywhere else where you have big mountains of rock. Sand is usually missing so...
johnsakura Says: Here you have a picture of the hot spring in Terjit. You have a pipe that gets the water from the upper pool and makes a kind of small waterfall (comming from a pipe hehe) with wamr water. Very nice indeed. Water is running 24hours a day, non stop so it is very clean.
johnsakura Says: You can rent this tents to rest or just to spend the night. Along with the perfect shadow given by the rock formations above you and the enormous number of palm trees make the perfect spot to have a good time to relax.
johnsakura Says: Here on the picture you have the whell and the little river that runs all the way up from the rocks. You have lots of different pools and wheels and rivers. You can choose from hot water to fresh one. You can drink also the water that runs down from the rocks.
Helpfulness
You'll be the one cooking if you want. I know that you can also ask the camping staff to make you some food, which i think should be very varied, something like pasta spaguetti along with carrots and camel meat, how about this? how many you want to order?
Favorite Dish: I rememer we cooked some lentils with rice with seaweed, also mushrooms i think...hummm...

This is a good idea. it will be fresh in the oasis due to the water and the all day shadow, so expect a bit of cold, but inside the hot spring pool its great.

johnsakura Says: you can rent a 4wd, or just get someone in a tourist office to take you there. you can also get a taxi that will cost you maybe 1500 or 2000UM to the road point to atar to terjit. maybe after you can alk a few kms or just pay the taxi to take you there. road is hard though.
johnsakura Says: here it comes again, big machine this one. hehehe, it went everywhere in mauritania. people went crazy when we arrived places with such a small car. usualy places are only accessible with 4wd cars.
johnsakura Says: This is the way some people build their houses here. The lack of materials and money can be tough on people in the region.
johnsakura Says: people usually protect themselves from the sun with stuff on their heads. women usualy have strong colours. unless their husband is dead and they dress black.
johnsakura Says: Groupd of local houses in Terhit village before you reach the oasis. The village and the oasis are separated by maybe 1.5km i think. maybe only 1. im kind lost here.
johnsakura Says: nomads can be seen many times in mauritania. they usually change places depends the weather of if they have or need water. they transport everything with tehm, food, animals, tents...
johnsakura Says: bacause i said i didnt have anything to give, they put a big rock below the car without me noticing that and when i departed, i hit the rock strongly below the car. and also a few km after i had to change the tyre cos i think they also did something to it like a nail of...

johnsakura Says: Go for a walk in the oasis and find special little place with water and palm trees. You can climb the rock up the source opposite to the village and its very nice to see.
johnsakura Says: You have some pre historic paintings 6km from the oasis. you have to pay someone to show you them. I didnt go there but if ou're interested you might go there and tell me how they are. I didnt go by lack of interested but by lack of time. we have to leave by mid day so,...
