Mauritania’s visa used to be available on arrival, but it must now be obtained online. You can apply for it at https://Anrpts.gov.mr.
The visa Is typically processed within three working days. If you do not receive an email notification, do not be frustrated—you can return to the website and enter your application details to check the status. Approval is highly likely.

The best time to visit Mauritania is from November to May, when the weather is cooler and drier, making it ideal for travel and outdoor activities. During these months, daytime temperatures typically range from 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F), providing a more comfortable climate for exploration.

For Mauritania, vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Yellow Fever (if arriving from a Yellow Fever endemic area) are recommended. If you take specific medications, be sure to bring enough for your trip and keep them in your carry-on in case your luggage gets lost. Certain medications can be difficult to find in Mauritania, and ordering them may take several days. To avoid any inconvenience, ensure you have an adequate supply with you.

Mauritania is a secure destination for tourists. Although it is wise to remain cautious as you would in any unfamiliar country, the warm hospitality of its people and the generally low crime levels make it an appealing place for visitors.

The local currency in Mauritania is the Ouguiya (MRU). Credit cards are not widely accepted, especially outside major cities like Nouakchott. It is advisable to carry cash for most transactions, and you can exchange foreign currency at banks or authorized exchange offices. ATMs are available in larger cities but may not always be reliable, so it is a good idea to plan accordingly.

Photography is permitted in Mauritania, but respecting local customs and regulations is essential. When taking photos of individuals, always ask for permission beforehand to show respect for their privacy and cultural values. This is particularly important in rural areas or when photographing religious sites, military facilities, or government buildings, as these locations may have specific restrictions.
For larger projects such as filming movies or documentaries, obtaining all necessary permits and documents from the appropriate authorities is required. This ensures compliance with local laws and helps avoid potential complications. Proper planning and research are crucial to respecting both legal guidelines and cultural sensitivities.
