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.

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!

Guest review
The room, a mini Maure suite, was lovely. The first real, authentic 3 star room I have found in Mauritania - a quiet, spotless, very comfortable stay. Wifi also excellent (can't comment on other facilities). The staff (Moussa and Mamadou) were super helpful.

Very comfortable bed and pillows! Very spacious room with lots of shelf space and a long table!
Windows covered by mosquito nets, and I did not see a single mosquito around!

Guest review
Modern, clean and comfortable. Safe area close to restaurants and the beach.
Staff were very helpful. In fact one of them offered me this flip flops because my shoes were damaged after my Iron ore train ride.

HOTEL LE BON CHOIX provides accommodation in Nouadhibou. The hotel features city views, a terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.
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!
