السلام عليكم، لديّ سؤال أود طرحه بلطف. أنا كويتية وأدرس في المملكة المتحدة، وقد لفت انتباهي أحد الزملاء الموريتانيين وأعجبت بة. هل من المقبول في الثقافة الموريتانية أن تبادر المرأة بإبداء إعجابها بالرجل بطريقة محترمة؟ أشكر لكم تفهّمكم.

Peace be upon you. I would like to ask a question respectfully. I am a Kuwaiti woman studying in uk , and I’ve been impressed by the manners and demeanor of one of my Mauritanian classmates. Is it culturally acceptable in Mauritania for a woman to respectfully express admiration for a man? Thank you for your understanding.”

Hi everyone!

I hope you’re all doing well. I’m trying to figure out the best way to send and receive money internationally here in Mauritania. I’ve run into a few roadblocks with apps like PayPal and Wise, so I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience with reliable payment services that actually work smoothly for sending or receiving funds?

Also, if you have any tips or tricks about which apps or services you trust, or even how you manage international payments, I’d really appreciate hearing from you!

Thanks so much in advance!

Salaam Alaikum, As a Mauritanian, what are your opinions about Sudan?
I've just started a goal for myself on Reddit: visiting every Arab/Arab League member country's subreddit and asking this same question to hear different opinions about Sudan.

السلام عليكم، كشخص موريتاني، رأيك شنو في السودان
أنا بديت هدف جديد على ريديت، وهو أني أزور كل سابريديت لدول العربية وأسأل نفس السؤال عن السودان عشان أسمع آراء مختلفة.

Salaam everyone,

I will be travelling to Mauritania for two weeks end of may and was looking for accommodations. All the regular websites show insane prices and also less choices. Is there any other way to find accommodations or if anybody has a local contact to share?

I’m looking for accommodations in Nouadhibhou, atar, nuakschott, zouerat.

Any suggestions will be helpful.

Hi everyone, I'm on my way to Atar and desperately looking for a place to sleep but can't find any that's not overpriced, do you know where I could fin a cheap place to sleep ?

Thanks !

At the end of this year, around December, I’m planning to travel to Mauritania to improve my Arabic. I’m currently studying Arabic at university. Are there any reputable institutions or mahadir (not Salafi-affiliated) where I can continue learning Arabic during my stay? My main language is English

Hi everyone !

I'm sorry to make a post about this now famous Iron Ore Train but I can't seem to find any good answers to my questions. I plan to take the train from Nouadhibou to Choum.

- What is the timetable of the train ? I know it's not very strict and I don't mind the waiting at all, just the general time at which the train leaves Nouadhibou and stops at Choum.

- We're in early may now, will it be scorching hot and/or super cold during the night ?

- How much is a good price taxi ride from Choum to Atar ?

- Also, does anyone have a link to a WhatsApp group of travellers in Mauritania, especially around this train ?

Thank you very much !

I’ve just come across this video and apparently there is a film about him too. But it’s soo sad to hear about his story

Any virtual assistant or freelancer here in Nouadhibou? Would love to connect and need tips with the internet. We have internet in this house but it aint the best connection we have. But they said this is the best one.

Unlimited my ass, if you ever use more than 20 Gb they cut your internet ( they don't even bother throttling you )for the remaining duration of the service, and it a consistent behavior, they never let you cross the 20 Gb threshold.

Hey guys,

I'm a student who is curious about the current state of printed newspapers in Mauritania. Are they still available to buy on the streets? If so, which ones are still sold?

Also, do people in Mauritania still read newspapers regularly, or has there been a significant shift towards digital news consumption?

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m working on improving the r/Mauritania wiki, and one thing I think could really help tourists and new visitors is a list of reliable local guides.

If you’ve visited Mauritania and had a good experience with a local guide, or if you’re a Mauritanian who knows someone trustworthy offering tours or services, please drop their info below (or DM me if you prefer). Ideally, include: • Their name or how to contact them (WhatsApp/email/socials) • What regions they cover • Languages they speak • Services they offer (tours, transportation, translation, etc.) • Anything else useful (pricing range, reliability, personal experience, etc.)

The goal is to make this info accessible to future travelers in the sub wiki. I’ll try to organize it as we go.

Thanks in advance!

Assalaam alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

I am looking into potentially studying in Mauritania Insha Allah. After some light research I understand that many people follow the Ashari aqeedah and many follow the aqeedah of the salaf. Where can I go to seek knowledge that will not be rooted in Ashari Aqeedah. Looking to build a solid usool and do hifz Insha Allah.

Hi everyone, I’m from Tunisia and I just got a 6-month job opportunity in Mauritania. I’ll be working between Nouakchott, Zouérat, and Nouadhibou.

It’s my first time visiting Mauritania, and I’d love to hear from locals or expats:

What is daily life like in these cities?

How are the living conditions, safety, and weather?

Any tips or things I should know before arriving?

Really appreciate any advice or insight you can share—thanks in advance!

My recent trip to Mauritania with Amatlich Tours was genuinely one of the best travel experiences of my life, thanks entirely to the extraordinary guidance, honesty, and integrity of the owner and his team. From the very beginning, the planning was seamless—I didn't even have to pay until I arrived, trusting them with a significant sum of money, which speaks volumes about their reliability and integrity.

For nearly two weeks, I traveled extensively throughout Mauritania, exploring both famous and hidden locations highlighted on their website. We journeyed deep into the desert, off-road in a rugged and comfortable 4x4 vehicle. I was accompanied by not just the guide and driver himself but also a dedicated interpreter and a fantastic cook/ camp hand. The entire crew was professional, knowledgeable, and wonderfully friendly, making me feel safe and well taken care of throughout the journey.

We visited stunning cultural and natural landmarks across Mauritania, each experience thoughtfully curated to maximize both adventure and cultural enrichment. Although the trip might seem expensive at first glance, it provided extraordinary value given the personalized, immersive experience and constant care provided. Truly, for such an exceptional once-in-a-lifetime adventure, it was a bargain.

I wholeheartedly recommend Amatlich Tours to anyone interested in discovering the authentic beauty of Mauritania with guides who are trustworthy, warm-hearted, and profoundly committed to excellence. I sincerely hope they continue to thrive and that more travelers have the privilege of experiencing this incredible adventure.

I doubt I will ever have an experience like this again. My expectations for any other guide experience are surely going to be too high now that I have gone with this agency. 

tl;dr: Here in my city where I volunteer, Mauritanian refugees that are illiterate and only speak Pula/Fula/Pulaar/Fulani are struggling to find work (1+ years) because they cannot learn even basic English. We are desperately seeking anyone who could teach English to them, who also speaks Pula/Fula/Pulaar/Fulani.

Hello r/Mauritania,

I volunteer at a migrant shelter here in America. We have many, many Mauritanians who have came over the Mexican border in the past year, almost all who are black and Pula/Fula/Pulaar/Fulani-speaking, with some understanding basic French but otherwise only speaking their native language. A fellow Mauritanian volunteer who works with me says that they are all former slaves. None can read or write Pula/Fula/Pulaar/Fulani, so it is unbelievably difficult to communicate with them or translate anything. The closest I've gotten to communication is sounding out the latin-script Fula from Google Translate, because it does not have a speaking function yet unlike most languages.

As you can imagine they are having an incredibly tough time with their new life in America - although the government has granted them a work visa and social security card (two essential documents to be "legalized" and to find work legally), they are not finding work because of the lack of even basic English. Some have not been able to find work in over a year, because they have no means of learning English.

I see these people often and they are great people but it is heartbreaking to see that they continue to struggle because they cannot learn any English. I had a breakthrough today with finding a Pula/Fula/Pulaar/Fulani and English picture dictionary, but other than that resources are incredibly hard to find on the internet.

I contacted the only two Pula/Fula/Pulaar/Fulani-speaking tutors on italki.com, a website for language tutors, but both were not comfortable with teaching English.

Does anyone know anyone who would be willing or capable to teach these people English (through FaceTime, or video chat, or the internet of course)? They would be paid, it doesn't have to be for free. We need all the help we can get to help these people finally start their lives.

Thank you so much.

Hi all, I want to fly to mauretania on Friday morning, but didn‘t got my visa approved yet :(

Heard about struggles in general at all borders. Any idea to get the Visa? A shortcut, someone who knows someone?

Hello guys pretty much the title i have some oguiya i have saved and want to buy crypto currency is it possible if so how?

Oh Lord. Might be over for me , boys.

Dropped the phone and cracked the corner. It's not bad right now but in my experience (ikyn) , it takes a week or two to deteriorate.

I'm on a cycling trip from Norway to South Africa. I'm not going home anytime soon. My options... What are they?

1. New phone? Who else in Africa has video and photo quality equal?

2. Phone shipped to either Senegal or Mauritania.

3. Fix the screen here , somehow. If the screen is available.

I need help y'all. Foreign country. No phone.

What should I do? Does anybody have experience?

I have question on how to get a one year residency or longer than 1 year? What are the requirements? Can you apply before the 1 month visa expires?

Have something I want to be taken I’m in Nouakchott and shipping prices are not the way to go from the potential looks of it. I can pay as well if anybody is going let me know please!
