Nouakchott: Visit the fishing port and fish market

The fishing port of Nouakchott is a lively and colorful place located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. It's a picturesque sight, not to be missed! Accompanied by the explanations and anecdotes of our guides, you'll be able to take a deep breath of fresh air to the rhythm of this teeming and unique port life, and most certainly take your best photos! Mauritania has one of the world's richest coastlines, and fishing plays a central role. Here, local fishermen bring in their daily catch of fresh fish, offering visitors a veritable open-air spectacle, marked by colorful traditional boats and a fleet of ships visible offshore. Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to see a boat set sail, urged on by its crew in traditional song? Discover the market and the fish market, the center of all fishing activity. You'll see many different types of fish (some of them very large), lined up on stalls, or heaps of fish being traded around the world. A visit here offers an incredible cultural experience, and an insight into the importance of the ocean to the economy of the city and Mauritania.
