There isn’t much on Mauritania in English. There are a few French YouTube vloggers that we watched before moving out here that gave us a fun look at life in Mauritania. Just search Mauritania and Nouakchott in YouTube and watch what pops up. There's also a new documentary you can find on YouTube if you just search "Mauritania, the Conveyors of the Desert | Deadliest Journeys". It's fascinating and shows how resilient the people are. - Jan 2023

The movie "Sahara" is a 2005 action-adventure comedy film directed by Breck Eisner that is based on the best-selling 1992 novel of the same name by Clive Cussler. It stars Matthew McConaughey, Steve Zahn and Penélope Cruz. It will show you the desert, the heat, and some of the Saharan environment. But don't forget that Mauritania has a coastline with hundred of kilometers of beaches. - Sep 2020
