Comfort and safety are our priorities. Car and motorcycle parking nearby, possibility of bivouacking in the Mauritanian desert, visits to small villages and natural sites, 4x4 off-road tours
I welcome the traveler, guide them in the city and advise them on transiting to neighboring Senegal, for example, or on accessing the Sahara train between Zouerat, Atar, and Nouadihbou.
quiet area 3 minutes walk from the bus station.
