Chinguetti

You want to see the real Sahara? Look no further. Chinguetti is an ancient trading town, with a history of scholarship like Timbuktu. The town itself has a sleepy feel to it. There are a few libraries to visit (helps to speak French but there are a few English speakers around) You’ll heading into the desert with a nomad guide and camels and sleep in a traditional khaïma or under the cloudless starry night. Here is the real Mauritania.
