Any main road in Nouakchott → Appartements Mohamed Mokhtar – drop off at nearest junction
💡 Flag down a shared taxi (usually a beat-up station wagon or saloon) by raising one finger. Know the local landmark: the apartment is near the old Marché Capitale. State 'Marché Capitale' or 'Ilot C' – the driver will drop you close. Pay only the standard shared fare (100 ouguiya, not 500).
Appartements Mohamed Mokhtar → Any single destination in city (e.g. Marche Capitale, Airport, Plage)
💡 Download the Ooredoo taxi app or find a 'WhatsApp taxi' number from reception. Best for late evening returns when shared taxis vanish. Pay quoted fare upfront – typically 1000-1500 ouguiya within the city bowl. Cash only.
Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International Airport (NKC) → Appartements Mohamed Mokhtar (near Centre Ville / Ilot C)
💡 Buy a fixed-price ticket at the official counter just outside arrivals before you get to the car park. The posted price to town centre is 2500 ouguiya; enforce it. Avoid touts inside the terminal.
Avenue Gamal Abdel Nasser (main axis) → Near Marché Capitale / Ilot C stop
💡 These run specific routes and don't stop everywhere. Look for a white transit minibus with green stripes. Hop on and shout 'Marché Capitale' – the conductor will tap the roof when you're close. Carry small notes (100 ouguiya or less). No printed route map; ask locals.

Top Attractions in Nouakchott نواكشوط
💡 It's dusty but pleasant in the morning. Bring your own water and something to sit on. The park is most lively Thursday evenings.
💡 Best light for photos is late afternoon. Dress respectfully — shoulders and knees covered. Stand across the street for a full view.
💡 Go early, around 7am, for the best action. Bring water shoes — the ground can be sloppy. You can buy fresh fish for next to nothing.
💡 Visit between 4pm and sunset when fishing crews are most active. Keep valuables out of sight and avoid swimming — strong currents. Local fishermen might let you help pull a net.
💡 Entry is free; browsing is expected. Bargain politely — start at half the asking price and go from there. Cash only. Best on weekends when more craftsmen are present.
