BASICS Safety  Mauritania is not a dangerous country, people are very friendly, and the thought of injuring you or stealing from you, is not even crossing their minds. But Nouakchott is getting more and more of big town problems, and drug abuse among boys and young men, can change their personality. You could feel relaxed in most of the country, but take normal precautions in the capital. Update: December 24, 2007, four French tourists were gunned down in southern Mauritania (Aleg). Reports either say that the gunmen were plain robbers, or that they were terrorists linked with al-Qaida. Following this, the Dakar Rally 2008 was cancelled over the fear of terrorist attacks. LookLex recommends that caution be taken with travels to Mauritania at the present, but there are no clear dangers yet to be identified. |
