What can you DO with 25 EURO in MAURITANIA ????????
*Support my channel by making a donation and make my dream come true.*
I'm dreaming of a Mustang since I was a child. Help me raise funds to afford it (I will keep it until I die)
On my last 24 hours I only got 25 Euro's in Mauritanian currency left.
I decided to make a video about what you can do with 25 Euro's in Mauritania.
You can do a lot more with the money I got, but I decided to go to the top end places of the city so I could enjoy my last day well.

About Nouakchott: Nouakchott (/nwækˈʃɒt, nwɑː-/; French: nwakʃɔt; Arabic: نواكشوط; Berber: Nwakcoṭ, originally derived from Berber: Nawākšūṭ, place of the winds) is the capital and largest city of Mauritania. It is one of the largest cities in the Sahel. The city also serves as the administrative and economic center of Mauritania. Nouakchott was a mid-sized village of little importance until 1958 when it was chosen as the capital of the nascent nation of Mauritania. At the time, it was designed and built to accommodate 15,000 people. However, beginning in the 1970s, a vast number of Mauritanians began moving to Nouakchott because environmental conditions in their home villages had become too harsh due to drought and increasing desertification. As of 2013, the city had a population of just under a million people. Many of the newcomers settled in slum areas of the city that were poorly maintained and extremely overcrowded. However, more recently, the living conditions of some of these inhabitants have improved. The city is the hub of the Mauritanian economy. It is home to a deepwater port and Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International Airport, one of the countrys two international airports. It also hosts the University of Nouakchott and several other more specialized institutions of higher learning. // Mauritania, officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (Arabic: الجمهورية الإسلامية الموريتانية), is a sovereign country in Northwest Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Western Sahara to the north and northwest, Algeria to the northeast, Mali to the east and southeast, and Senegal to the southwest. Mauritania is the 11th-largest country in Africa and the 28th-largest in the world, and 90% of its territory is situated in the Sahara. Most of its population of 4.4 million lives in the temperate south of the country, with roughly one-third concentrated in the capital and largest city, Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast.

map of Mauritania Africa
Mauritania ; Arabic: موريتانيا, Mūrītānyā, French: Mauritanie; Berber: Agawej or Cengit; Pulaar: ???????????????????????????????? Moritani; Wolof: Gànnaar; Soninke: Murutaane), officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (Arabic: الجمهورية الإسلامية الموريتانية), is a sovereign state in Northwest Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Western Sahara to the north and northwest, Algeria to the northeast, Mali to the east and southeast, and Senegal to the southwest. Mauritania is the eleventh largest country in Africa, and 90 percent of its territory is situated in the Sahara. Most of its population of 4.4 million lives in the temperate south of the country, with roughly one third concentrated in the capital and largest city, Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast.
The country's name derives from the ancient Berber kingdom of Mauretania, located in present-day Morocco and Algeria. Berbers occupied what is now Mauritania beginning in the third century AD. Arabs conquered the area in the eighth century, bringing Islam, Arab culture, and the Arabic language. In the early 20th century, Mauritania was colonized by France as part of French West Africa. It achieved independence in 1960, but has since experienced recurrent coups and periods of military dictatorship. The most recent coup, in 2008, was led by General Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who won subsequent presidential elections in 2009 and 2014. He was succeeded by Mohamed Ould Ghazouani following the 2019 elections, which were considered Mauritania's first peaceful transition of power since independence.
Mauritania is culturally and politically part of the Arab world: it is a member of the Arab League and Arabic is the sole official language. Reflecting its colonial heritage, French is widely spoken and serves as a lingua franca. The official religion is Islam, and almost all inhabitants are Sunni Muslims. Despite its prevailing Arab identity, Mauritanian society is multiethnic: the Bidhan, or so-called white moors, make up 30 percent of the population, while the Haratin, or so-called black moors, comprise 40 percent. Both groups reflect a fusion of Arab-Berber ethnicity, language, and culture. The remaining 30 percent of the population is made up of various sub-Saharan ethnic groups.
Despite an abundance of natural resources, including iron ore and petroleum, Mauritania remains poor; its economy is based primarily on agriculture, livestock, and fishing. Mauritania is known for its poor human rights record, most notably the continued practice of slavery, a result of a historical caste system between the Bidhan and Haratin. It was the last country in the world to abolish slavery, in 1981 and criminalized it only in 2007. Control is tightly concentrated in the executive branch of the central government, but a series of national and municipal elections since 1992 have produced limited decentralization. These regions are subdivided into 44 departments (moughataa). The regions and capital district (in alphabetical order) and their capitals are:

mapa de Mauritania [ Africa ]
Mauritania, oficialmente la República Islámica de Mauritania (en árabe: الجمهورية الإسلامية الموريتانية Al-Ŷumhūrīya al-Islāmīya al-Mawrītānīya, en francés: République Islamique de Mauritanie), es un país ubicado en el noroeste de África. Limita con el océano Atlántico al oeste, con Senegal al suroeste, con Malí al este y al sureste, con Argelia al noreste y con el territorio del Sahara Occidental (en disputa entre la República Árabe Saharaui Democrática y Marruecos) al norte. El 90 por ciento de su territorio está ubicado en el Sahara y la mayor parte de su población de 4,4 millones habita el sur templado del país, con aproximadamente un tercio concentrado en la capital y mayor ciudad, Nuakchot, situada en la costa del océano Atlántico.
El nombre del país deriva del antiguo reino bereber de Mauritania, ubicado en los actuales Marruecos y Argelia. Los bereberes ocuparon lo que hoy es Mauritania a partir del siglo III d.C. Los árabes conquistaron la zona en el siglo VIII. A finales del siglo XIX, Mauritania fue colonizada por Francia como parte del África Occidental Francesa. El país consiguió la independencia de Francia el 28 de noviembre de 1960. En 2008, el gobierno civil de Mauritania sufrió un golpe de Estado encabezado por el general Mohamed Uld Abdelaziz. El 16 de abril de 2009, Abdelaziz renunció a su rango militar para competir en las elecciones presidenciales del 19 de julio, siendo elegido presidente. Fue sucedido por Mohamed Ould Ghazouani después de las elecciones de 2019, que fueron consideradas la primera transición de poder pacífica desde la independencia.34
Mauritania es cultural y políticamente parte del mundo árabe: es miembro de la Liga Árabe y el árabe es el único idioma oficial, aunque el francés se habla ampliamente y sirve como lengua franca. La religión oficial es el islam, y casi todos los habitantes son sunitas. La sociedad mauritana es multiétnica: los beidan, llamados «moros blancos», constituyen el 30 % de la población, mientras que los haratin, llamados «moros negros», comprenden el 40 %.5 Ambos grupos reflejan el sincretismo árabe-bereber. El otro 30 % de la población está conformado por varios grupos étnicos subsaharianos.
En 2008 el 20 % de la población vivía con menos de 1,25 dólares por día.6 El país sufre varios problemas en materia de derechos humanos.7 Fue el último país en abolir la esclavitud, en 1981, aunque un informe de Amnistía Internacional publicado en 2018 afirmó que el número de personas esclavizadas en Mauritania podría superar el 1 % de su población Mauritania está dividida a efectos político-administrativos en 12 regiones (régions), que a su vez se subdividen en 52 departamentos (moughataa) y el distrito de la capital.

Mapa de Mauritania.
Mauritania está situada en la región del Sahel, entre los meridianos 4º 48’ y 16º 30’ oeste de Greenwich y los paralelos 14º 45’ y 27º 22’ norte y tiene una costa de 754 km. Su territorio ocupa un área de 1 030 700 km²,1 que para efectos comparativos es similar al doble de la española. Es el 29.º país del mundo por superficie. Del total, unos 300 km² están formados por agua contenida en pequeños lagos y oasis. Mauritania se encuentra situada a orillas del océano Atlántico. Tiene una frontera de 1564 km con el antiguo Sahara Occidental español, actualmente administrado por Marruecos, al oeste y norte,1 460 km con Argelia al noreste,1 2236 km con Malí al este y al sur,1 y de 742 km con Senegal al sur;1 si se suman todas estas extensiones Mauritania tiene una frontera total de 5002 km.1
El río Senegal sirve de frontera con el país de Senegal. El país se encuentra dominado a excepción de una estrecha banda litoral, por el desierto del Sahara que ocupa casi la totalidad del territorio y que se ha ido extendiendo desde los años 1960 debido a las grandes sequías que ha ido sufriendo el país. Todas las ciudades importantes del país, como Nuakchot, capital del Estado, y Nuadibú, la capital comercial, se encuentran en la estrecha banda litoral. Las principales ciudades del interior son Tidjikja, Atar y Chingueti.
La máxima altitud del país son los 910 m s. n. m. de Kediet Ijill y el punto más bajo son los 3 m bajo el nivel del mar de la Sebkha de Ndrhamcha.map of Mauritania Africa

Port de Pêche in Nouakchott, Mauritania
The Port de Pêche is Nouakchott's star attraction. Lively and colourful, you'll see hundreds of teams of mostly Wolof and Fula men dragging in heavy fishing nets. Small boys hurry back and forth with trays of fish, which they sort, gut, fillet and lay out on large trestles to dry. The best time to visit is late afternoon, when the fishing boats return. Before or after, it's no less an impressive sight with the pirogues crammed like sardines on the beach.
NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF the day or what day of the week, Port de Pêche is always hectic. There are always fishing boats setting off and others returning, with the daily catch quickly unloaded and taken the market on donkey-drawn carts.
But the real eye candy are the throngs of pirogues lying idle on the sand banks, one beside the other, row after row. Each part of the vessels has a unique, custom-made cut and is painted with bright colors. Drawings representing animals, people, traditional patterns, and symbols adorn the boats as well.
These pirogues are built by artisans of Fula and Wolof ethnicity, originally from Senegal but well-established within this segment of Mauritanian economy. A small 10-foot-long pirogue takes about a week to build, whereas a 70-foot-long pirogue takes about a month. It’s difficult to estimate their durability, as this depends largely on how often a pirogue is used, how well it is maintained, and how good it was initially built, but 15 years seems to be the longest one can hope for.
The beach in front of the market is frantic with activities. It is nothing short of a cacophony of colors, smells, and sounds. There are people refueling or waterproofing boats, mending fishing nets, or resting and chatting. Closer to the market, there are people rinsing and gutting fish. There are women selling snacks, cooking, and catching up with the latest news. Children play soccer, swim, and chase one another.

A breathtaking 18-day 4x4 Expedition full of adventure toward Dakar in my standard Land Rover Discovery II.
It's a Trans-Saharan adventure that connects two continents: Europe and Africa, and crosses five countries: Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Mauritania & Senegal.
The crossing from Mauritania #11 days provides technical feats with much sand and tracks passages and Senegal #3 days provide a totally different world, as you drive back along the magical beaches of the shores of Mauritania and Senegal.
Although they are small samples, I hope you enjoy this videos as much as we enjoy bringing them to you.
Special thanks to the entire LeirividaTT team who provided this expedition at the highest level.
