Cabano Coast, Region Dakhlet Nouadhibou, Mauritania

Cabano coast is maybe around 2 kilometres from Nouadhibou. It’s a place where uncommon rock contruction meets the sea.
Cabano is also the place of mystery meetings here in Nouadhibou for white moors. There are a few shacks where local males take their mistresses away from the city eyes…

If you go for a walk on the sea shore you’ll notice a few little fishermen villages.

Mosque in Port, Nouadhibou, Mauritania

This is a very unusual mosque for what I’ve seen. Its inside the port of this big enterprise called SOPAC PP, the first fish exporter in Mauritania.

Islam is the official religion of Mauritania. Despite ethnic and cultural differences among Mauritanians they are all bound by a common Muslim attachment to the Malekite sect. Its a country with 100% Muslims.

Airport Tracks, Nouadhibou, Mauritania

Indeed unusual is to pass an airport track by foot. It’s very easy here in Nouadhibou. Just go to the Numerowat district and in direction of the ocean pass the fence without the guard sees you and you’re there. If someone asks what is your business there just say you’re heading Cap Cabano and you had no idea how to reach it. Of course this tip is under Dangerous Places cos it is in fact and everyone knows it already. Just to reminde a nice way to get to Cabano Bay! 😀

Ship Cemetery, Cansado Bay, Mauritania

Cansado Bay, 10km from the city centre is a must in the city. There are just a few interesting things to see here in Nouadhibou, so you have to come to this beach and enjoy the old boats. In terms of environment is obviously not correct but since the boats are already there just enjoy the dead and lost boats. Interesting to notice is that by the fat boats are there, a whole new Ocean Ecosystem was created and fishes make the boats their house.
