This northwestern African nation is a land of desolate beauty. Three quarters of the country is desert, contrasted by the North Atlantic Ocean to the west. Add to that a spectacular abundance of dunes and birdlife and you’ve got an authentic taste of African scenery. For the most stunning sights of the Sahara, head for the Adrar massif in the north. The rocky terrain and narrow canyons are ideal for a 4x4 excursion. Be sure to take in the millenia-old architecture of Chinguetti and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ouadane along the way. Home to millions of migrating birds, the Parc National du Banc d’Arguin can be found along much of the central coastline. The World Heritage-listed park is best explored by boat with a local guide. A wide range of accommodation types are available, with hotels found in the capital Nouakchott and other cities of Atar, Nouadhibou and Chinguetti.

Milennium Hotel Nouadhibou is situated in Nouadhibou and features a terrace. With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk.
Guest review
I had an excellent stay at the Millennium Hotel. The property is new, calm, and beautifully designed, with a personalized touch that truly makes a difference. The room was part of a small, well-thought-out unit—modern, functional, and spotlessly clean. The continental breakfast was complete and delicious. The service was impeccable, and the location is both peaceful and ideally situated. What I appreciated most was the absolute quiet—no noise during the day or at night, making it a true haven of peace. A truly remarkable experience—I highly recommend it!

HOTEL LE BON CHOIX features accommodation in Nouadhibou. There is a terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.
Guest review
This is probably the best option in Nouadhibou, where accommodation is quite expensive. It's centrally located on a nice broad street, next to a supermarket and lots of places to eat. The room was very clean and comfortable. Wifi, showers and breakfast are all good.
What made it really exceptional though was how incredibly helpful and nice the staff were. I arrived needing cash and a bus ticket, and the manager drove me around town to get both, without even being asked, as if it was no trouble at all. I would honestly have been lost without him!
