Baie du Lévrier

The sheltered bay east of Nouadhibou, historically known for its ship graveyard and bustling artisanal fishing.

Mauritania Railway

The path of the world's longest train; look for the thin line of the tracks and, if lucky, the 2.5km long iron-ore train.

Ben Amera Monolith

The world's third-largest monolith, a massive dark stone dome rising dramatically from the flat desert sands.

Kediet ej Jill

The highest peak in Mauritania, appearing dark and metallic because it is composed almost entirely of magnetite.

Tazadit Iron Mines

Enormous terraced open-pit mines near Zouerat that create a striking industrial contrast with the desert.

Ras Nouadhibou Peninsula

The narrow, white-sand peninsula that marks the border between Mauritania and Western Sahara.

Grand Erg du Sahara

Vast stretches of wind-swept sand dunes and flat desert plains extending toward the northern horizon.

International Boundary

The flight path runs parallel to the straight-line geometric border with the Western Sahara territory.
