πŸ‘‰ Saw a camel πŸͺ caravan 
πŸ‘‰ Visited Ouadane

I will never be able to fully express how beautiful this trip was and how underrated this country is. Please, do me and yourself a favor and go experience it yourself! I promise you will NOT regret it

I had no idea this was even part of the tour πŸ˜… we arrived at the place where we were camping and went up this giant dune. When we got back down our local team had the camp all set up for us and I love it so much 😍 

We had dinner under the stars, lots of tea (as usual), went on a night walk in the dunes and ended the night in our little tents from where I could see the entire sky full of stars ✨

    This is THE IRON ORE TRAIN in Mauritania πŸ‡²πŸ‡· This is THE IRON ORE TRAIN in Mauritania πŸ‡²πŸ‡· 

It is considered to be one of the longest trains in the world with about 2,5km of open wagons carrying the iron ore from ZouΓ©rat all the way to Nouadhibou. 

The iron ore train is also one of the worlds MOST DANGEROUS trains to ride, as you jump on top of it and ride it on an open wagon full of iron ore for a total of 18h!! And of course because of that you have some crazy people (like me πŸ˜…) who see in this a great story to tell and an Amazing life experience! 

This was for sure the CRAZIEST thing I have ever done, probably the hardest too, but I would do it all over again. 

Is this in your bucket list? Would you ride the Iron Ore train? Let me know πŸ˜…

    If you know me you know I love the desert 🏜️ If you know me you know I love the desert 🏜️ 

Mauritania πŸ‡²πŸ‡· has incredible landscapes of desert around the entire country and this sunset close to Chinguetti made me so happy that I took the leap of faith to visit this country, one of the least visited in the world!! 

I can’t recommend you enough to visit Mauritania and to add it to your 2024 bucket list. Trust me tourism will soon boom here and the experience will not be the same. 

If you are looking for a raw travel experience in a country that is untouched by tourism and it offers you only pure local experiences and you are feeling adventurous, Mauritania πŸ‡²πŸ‡· is for you and you will not regret it!

    I recently went on a 1 week trip to Mauritania πŸ‡²πŸ‡· and let me tell you this: you need to go visit this country right now!! 

β€œWhy would I want to travel to Mauritania? Isn’t it dangerous? There’s nothing to see there” - these are just some examples of things I was told before my trip. And all the opinions coming from those that NEVER visited the country were so, so wrong!!!! 

So, here are a few reasons to visit Mauritania right now: 

1️⃣ IT’S REALLY SAFE 

Maybe you don’t believe me on this one but I promise you it’s super safe. 

2️⃣ NO TOURISTS

This might be the best reason to go right now πŸ˜… Mauritania πŸ‡²πŸ‡· is the 30th least visited country in the world. That means that you will be able to have one of most authentic travel experiences of your life!! Imagine going to remote villages where you are invited into locals homes and they offer you tea and teach you games - Not because you are a tourist but because they really are excited to have foreigners in their country and want to interact with you.

3️⃣ THE PEOPLE 

This country has some of the kindest people I’ve encountered on my travels. They all seem to live a simple life and are genuinely caring for others and appreciate the little things. 

4️⃣ ITS CHEAP 

Getting there is a bit expensive as there aren’t many flights to the country, but with some research you can definitely find good deals. I got my tickets to/from Spain for 400€ round trip. Once you are there, the prices are really affordable. 

5️⃣ ITS ONE OF THE LEAST VISITED COUNTRIES IN THE 🌎 

Being able to say I traveled to one of the least visited countries in the world seems like a good enough reason to go πŸ˜…

6️⃣ THE IRON ORE TRAIN πŸš‚ 

THIS!!!! If you are an adventure seeker, or if you are looking to do something very few people in this world have done, the Iron Ore train is just what you need! If 18h on top of a train in an open wagon crossing the Sahara desert isn’t the coolest adventure you’ve ever heard of, I don’t know what is πŸ˜‰

7️⃣ TOURISM WILL GROW AND IT WON’T BE THE SAME IN A FEW YEARS
