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
My four friends and I rode the iron ore train and wanted a place that was both comfortable and had good amenities. This place delivered on all fronts. The staff even upgraded me to a suite!! Which was very nice of them. The breakfast is awesome and the staff were very helpful in arranging transport back to Nouakchott. The hotel owner drove us to the bus station and made sure we got on the correct bus. Cant recommend this place enough!

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.

Sheraton Nouakchott Hotel is offering accommodation in Nouakchott. Featuring room service, this property also welcomes guests with a restaurant and a terrace.
Guest review
This Sheraton is truly world class. From the gate to parking, reception and your room you feel totally taken care of. Fantastic new building, perfectly maintained, very good restaurant and great service from everyone of the staff. We stayed for one night on a motorcycle trip thorugh Africa. We loved the option of keeping our motorbikes inside the Sheraton compound. Highly recommended if you look for the highest quality possible in the heart of Nouakchut. In fact I think it was the best Sheraton I have ever stayed in.

Guest review
This is a very nice small hotel.
Everything was clean and tidy, very well taken care of.
Very good breakfast.
The staff was very helpful and flexible.
Thanx for the cleaner ladies to keep everything in good order.
So many channels in the TV - 700 or so!!
WiFi working very well reliably!
As my flight was quite late, they let me stay in the room longer for a small fee.
My number one choice, when visiting Nouakchott again!
