Azougi

Azougi is in Saharan Mauritania. Located just 7 km out of Atar it makes a nice day trip.

Understand

Azougi is an oasis town 7 km out of Atar in Mauritania. Homes are built in a special way, unique to Mauritania and is surrounded by majestic hills, which make a beautiful scenery.

Get in

Shared taxis go frequently from Atar for 300 old UM (which should equal 30 new UM, so don't fall for any price higher than that) per person. To get there with your own vehicle, you should leave Atar at the only roundabout in town bounding towards Bab Sahara and follow the road.

Get around

The town is small so it's easily to see it by foot. If you want to explore the nearby hills and the ancient paintings, it would be smart to wear proper shoes.

See
