Question 8

What popular events take place in Mauritania?

Accepted Answer

The culture of festivals and events in Mauritania is not as developed as in other more popular tourist destinations. This is due to its very religious history and remote location. Most major events in Mauritania are celebrations of religious or cultural-historic events. Book Mauritania flight deals for November and attend two of their most loved celebrations. One such event is Diwali. Celebrated by the large Hindu community, Diwali happens every year in November and marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring. This festival of lights is a religious expression of the battle between good and evil or light vs dark. Local people light up the city with lanterns and candles to create a flickering golden blanket over the city and praise the good in the world. The celebrations also include dancing, singing, fireworks music and sharing of traditional foods. Another important festival to attend in the fabric of Mauritania is National Independence day, which happens in the first week of November and commemorates independence from France, which happened in 1960. The day’s festivities start with a symbolic raising of the flag and then lead into a full day of dancing, eating, laughing and relaxing as crowds of people take to the streets on this public holiday and enjoy each others company.

Question 9

Is Mauritania known for specific food/cuisine?

Accepted Answer

The concept of eating in Mauritania is based on community. Most traditional dishes are served on large platters in the middle of the table, and diners help themselves with their hands from one communal dish. The traditional common ingredients are mainly lamb, goat, fish and rice prepared in various ways with different African spices. The national dish is called Thieboundienne, which roughly translates to fish and rice. However, that name hardly does the dish justice. The Senegalese inspired meal is bursting with flavours that come from its tomato and herb-based sauce, which the fish is slow roasted in over a few days before being served with spicy yellow rice. Another popular item on the menu is Yassa chicken. A dish of slowly prepared tender chicken pieces in loads of caramelized onions, lemon juice and a sweet and spicy sticky sauce. TAFARIT Sun House is one of the best restaurants in the country situated in the capital of Nouakchott, here you can find both dishes.

Question 10

What can you see and do in Mauritania?

Accepted Answer

Flights to Mauritania mean flying into the deserts of West Africa. It is a place that attracts travellers even though the harsh terrain is sometimes feared. The beautiful rich orange landscape of the desert is a contrasting background against the energetic and colourful capital city of Nouakchott. Visit the capital city on a day trip and be swept up by bustling fish, meat, fabric and spice markets which seem to stay open 24 hours a day. When you think of Mauritania, you think of long hot tours of the desert; however, the area offers many more diverse experiences. Banc d’Arguin is a stunning bird sanctuary and UNESCO world heritage site in the northwest of the country. If you’re looking to get out of the sun and experience a real oasis, then head to Terjit and relax amongst the palm grooves or have a picnic on the banks of one of the many sparkling natural pools.

Question 11

What passport or visa requirements are there when visiting Mauritania?

Accepted Answer

When booking your Mauritanian flight deals, make sure you have everything you need to gain entry to the country. You do not need a visa to be issued beforehand, as one will be issued to you on arrival. The process can take several hours, so be prepared for that. The Mauritanian embassy in the UK does not issue visas in advance. On arrival, you will need to produce a passport that is valid for a least six months from your date of arrival.
