definitely worth it. I did whole Mauritania as a part of a private tour though was solo on the train as the guide dropped me and left
>starting point
fderik to nouadhibou is the full version ~20 hours
fderik to choum is very short ~5 hours
choum to nouadhbou ~15 hours
If youre adventurous do the full one >Land in the capital
get a shared taxi/minibus . You need to know French or Arabic or have a English speaking guide
It was good except they expected sex and payment in exchange for their services. It wasn't a pleasant experience but it at least got me to my goal and I did something new. But I'll have to get an HIV test once I get home just be sure.
PrEP is only most effective against the top, not the bottom, so no. It would be useless. He also didn't like condoms, he said it was against his religion.
ignore the homosexual replyer
The guide was friendly and helpful, though his English was a bit off maybe I shouldve asked for a good English speaking one.
>You need to know French or Arabic or have a English speaking guide
Google translate?
hard, they still use basic phones and internet sucks
>The guide was friendly and helpful, though his English was a bit off maybe I shouldve asked for a good English speaking one.
What was wrong with his English? Did he get his words jumbled up when he was cumming on your back?
Sounds amazing. Wanting to do this for years. Will do it this year or next. >Is the scenery beautiful or just flat? >Do they do weed or qhat out there or is it gulf levels of sharia? >How dangerous is Mauritania regards kidnapping and Islamicists etc?
scenery is amazing, esp the sunrise or sunset. the train curving around, the ore hitting ur face and changing desert sand colours
didnt see any alcohol or drugs, food is just baguette bread with veggie salad and camel meat
its not dangerous as long as ure with a guide or touristic parts
saw less than 10 tourists my whole trip
why didn't you do something original instead
its more original than what homosexuals like u do on this board
Idk seems kind of cringe >hey guys I took a very hot illegal train ride in Africa, give me clout
What's special about it? Is it dangerous? Are you aware that millions of people ride trains illegally on the outside or the roof every year in undeveloped parts of the world?

What infamous about it? You ride a train but in an uncomfortable way for several hours. Cool I guess. but why would you do it? I can just get a drone shot of those same scenes at zero risk to my life.
its a form of clout chasing
he probably got zero interest on instagram for it, then came here because he is extremely concerned that he wasted his time and money on something that was cool 10 years ago, but is lol now

You 2 are huuuuuge homosexuals. >Why travel in unique ways? >Why would you want to feel uncomfortable? >Why do anything? >Why haven't I roped myself?
Frick off back to /soc/ or wherever you belong. It's based people are making decent threads which don't involve buzzwords like 'coom'.
>I like to avoid "touristy areas" and go "off the beaten path" and mingle with the "locals" >still posts attention whoring shit to social media
wtf traveling is cringe now
> posting about travelling on an anonymous travel board is cringe
why are you incel autists even on here? you're welcome to leave to >>LULZ or >>lgbt or wherever you crawled out from
OP pic is random
Theyre nice and friendly, very hospitable
i got lucky and the weather was fine as it was cloudy so max temp was no more than 30-35C
Also where are you now and where's next?
no idea where next
What's the coom situation like in Mauritania?
women are like moroccan women fair, also black and brown women. Theyre like a mix of sub saharans and white berbers.Fully covered and you will not see any females wearing western dresses. Its a very backward poor country.
even on tinder, bumble there's a handful of accounts
Is it true that most of the tribes there are into fat women? Like fatten them ritually for Allah? I've heard rumors of this stuff but never confirmed it with anyone from Mauritania
define western clothes. cause pigs were walking naked most of their lifetime on earth. They haven't figured clothing till POC introduced it to them. I can't believe people like you still think not wearing "western" clothing makes you backward.
jeans, t shirts, u will not see any women wearing that...only trad islam and mauritanian clothes
Hey OP these pics were amazing, looks fun
1 - how did you find a good guide?
2 - on the dating apps, how many people did you see and what was the quality of the women on there?
3 - did you see/hear of any foreigners driving through Mauritania or the Sahara?
>google >there were very few accounts maybe a few dozen, matched but the reply times were slow to meet and not good looking compared to Moroccans >yes , some old couples in vans and a biker and backpacking tourists. Saw less than 10 in 8 days
After reading and watching a video about it, it's only dangerous if you never hydrate throughout the trip. Uncomfortable seems like a better adjective than "infamous". OP is a clout chaser.
Was it worth it?
How did you get to the starting point?
Land in the capital, then what?

Would you advise taking PrEP before using a guide?
PrEP is only most effective against the top, not the bottom, so no. It would be useless. He also didn't like condoms, he said it was against his religion.

Weed is illegal there and might get you thrown off or stoned
why didn't you do something original instead
Any other questions? This seems like a waste of my travel time to be honest.

All I asked was what was infamous about it. You have yet to answer.
you can easily die if you fall from it and slip
and being able to bear the heat for 20-24 hours
Kys
Hey, I can't seem to find /soc/ I have found travel is similar so I came on here, mind guiding me to it?
i feel this is a meme among "adventure tourists" to do this. aren't there a lot of insta thot travel vloggers doing this?
I can't imagine any of those vapid prostitutes posing on the back of these trains in a bikini.
Why is it infamous. QRD?
because adding that word gives him (you)s. Hes a pitiful clout chaser
How do your lungs feel after taking 10 years off their lifespan?D4VPKR
lungs auto clean themselves
Comfy thread for my morning coffee, thank you
What are the Mauritanian people like? Does it get hot/cold on the train? No more pics?
Imagine risking your life to view this. lmao
>I like to avoid "touristy areas" and go "off the beaten path" and mingle with the "locals"

SighSee isn't social media. OP may be a homosexual (as OP always is) but he's anonymous.

yes, obese women in general are the beauty standards there but u will see all types
same in Senegal and maybe other countries

I got no questions but that's very cool and based, jealous
What's the coom situation like in Mauritania?
I think it's cool OP
it's an experience you'll never forget, I'm sure. It's interesting.
Hey OP these pics were amazing, looks fun
1 - how did you find a good guide?
2 - on the dating apps, how many people did you see and what was the quality of the women on there?
3 - did you see/hear of any foreigners driving through Mauritania or the Sahara?
How long did it last, would it be fun as a trip with the boys(going out to bar and shit)
OP people keep saying "imagine risking your life for this" and shit. Is any part of it actually dangerous? It just seems uncomfortable really
After reading and watching a video about it, it's only dangerous if you never hydrate throughout the trip. Uncomfortable seems like a better adjective than "infamous". OP is a clout chaser.
Infamous doesn't imply dangerous though. I didn't think it was dangerous until seeing those comments
Why is it considered infamous?
its easy to fall off being careless and the train has a lot of jerks, its not a smooth ride.
20 hours is the full journey from Fderik to Nouadhibou
short one from Fderik to Choum at 5 hours and Choum to Nouadhibou at 15 hours
