Mauritania is a country in Northwest Africa, with much of its land covered by the Sahara Desert. The country’s economy is driven by natural resources, mainly iron ore. Arabic is the official language, with Hassaniya as a widely spoken local dialect. Football is the most popular sport, and Mauritania has been used as a filming location for productions like The Fifth Element and The Grand Tour. Nouakchott, the capital city, is situated along the coast and serves as the main economic centre, while other significant cities like Nouadhibou and Rosso are important for fishing and trade activities. DHL Express is here to help you reach these destinations consistently with secure and reliable parcel delivery.

- Mauritania has one of the world's least dense populations, with most of the country (over 90%) being taken up by vast areas of the Saharan desert. Its population is just over 5 million, with most living in the more temperate south.
- The Eye of the Sahara, found in Mauritania, is a huge geological rock formation (made up of concentric circles, like a whirlpool) in the Sahara desert that can be seen from space.
- Mauritania’s Atlantic coastline is home to some of the richest fishing waters in the world, attracting fishing fleets from Europe and Asia. Fishing is a key part of the economy.
- Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Chinguetti is one of the oldest cities in Mauritania and was once a major centre for trade and scholarship in the Sahara. The city is known for its ancient libraries and well-preserved architecture, reflecting its historical significance.
- Banc d’Arguin National Park is another UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important bird migration stops in the world. Millions of birds, including flamingos, pelicans, and sandpipers, stop here while travelling between Europe and Africa.
