While Mauritania is generally safe, it's important to follow travel advisories and be cautious in remote areas. Stick to major cities and tourist areas for a more secure experience.
Most transportation is done by road, with shared taxis, buses, and private vehicles being the most common. In desert areas, camels and 4x4 vehicles are often used.
Mauritanian cuisine includes hearty dishes like Thieboudienne (fish and rice), Mechoui (roasted lamb), and couscous. Don't miss the traditional tea ceremony, an important part of Mauritanian hospitality.
