I have just return from a 45-day trip to Mauritania.
We did: NDB-NKT-Rosso-Kaedi-Mbout-Selibabi-Yould Enje-Kiffa-NKT-Akjoujt-Bennichab-PN Banc d'Arguin-Chami-Choum-Azeffal dunes-Chami-NDB (we went for working reasons, that why the route zig-zags a lot!).
No problems at all. Police was relatively friendly.
In two occasions we were forced to camp side of the police station.
At each checkpoint, they questioned our following destination and the next checkpoint knew already that we were to arrive.
It happened in one occasion that we got a delay, and they were already searching for us.
So, apparently security was tighted and they were able to monitor the movements of foreigners.
Appart from the "police control", all the rest was as usuall in Mauritania: relaxed and friendly!
Btw:
- visas are not available at the border; they can be collected in Rabat.
- diesel price was on average 270 oug /litre.
- the exchange rate at NKT was 1 euro = 370 oug.
Cheers,
Jos�
