10 minutes from the center, discover the artisanal fishing port and the fishermen's beach, with its multicolored wooden boats in the colors of Senegal. You have to go there according to the tides, when the boats come back loaded with fish and they are spread out in front of the barge. The others jostle each other, apostrophize each other, while the fishes are still wriggling. It is a real dive into the life of Nouakchott, a bath of crowd and fish! A word of warning, however: pickpockets can sometimes slip into the crowd.

Amazing, it is The highlight of nouakchott

First of all you have not to be too sensitive to The fish smell (even if dry fish is The worst). Then go and put yourself in looking At fish sellers (mostly women), bag sellers boys, rusty trolley fish transporter, The colourful boat, The fishermen confronting the big waves with small boats and lifting boxes heavy with fish and ice, The soldier checking the fishes and the freezing rooms where you see giant merou ready to be sent to our tables on europe.
