Mauritania
Desert caravans weave timeless lore, November to March tames the Saharan roar
01 · Overview
The best time to visit Mauritania is between November and March, when cooler days tame the Sahara and coastal breezes blow. With 20°C to 25°C weather, it’s great for exploring Chinguetti’s ancient libraries, fishing in Nouadhibou, or camping in Adrar. For milder conditions, try October or April.
