• Pros
  • Crossing the desert gives you an immense feeling of freedom.
  • The country has not yet been invaded by tourists.
  • The Mauritanians' warm welcome.
• Cons
  • The local populations wait for the rain which rarely comes, and whose absence can create quite dramatic everyday life situations.
  • The question of the Western Sahara, in the north of the country, remains in a deadlock with the Sahrawis of the Polisario Front and Morocco.
  • Human rights are not a priority. The excision of women and the slave trade are still practised.
  • Populations are losing their nomadic traditions and tending to become more and more sedentary.
