Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to go to Mauritania?
The risk of kidnapping is also very high in Mauritania particularly against Westerners in Nouakchott and Atar. It is also not safe to travel to the eastern and northern provinces of Mauritania, Tiris Zemmour, Adrar, Tagant, and Hodh el Chargui due to the continuing high threat from terrorism throughout the country.
Is slavery legal in Mauritania?
In 1981, Mauritania became the last country in the world to abolish slavery when a presidential decree abolished the practice. However, no criminal laws were passed to enforce the ban. In 2007, "under international pressure", the government passed a law allowing slaveholders to be prosecuted.
What is Mauritania known for?
The heartland of Mauritania consists of the vast Adrar and Tagant plateaus, known as the Trab el-Hajra (Arabic: “Country of Stone”). Until the 1980s nomadic life was prevalent in Mauritania, and among the Moorish population the nomadic lifestyle is still idealized.
Is Mauritania a third world country?
One of Africa's newest oil producers, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania bridges the Arab Maghreb and western sub-Saharan Africa. The largely desert country presents a cultural contrast, with an Arab-Berber population to the north and black Africans to the south.
