The capital of the Hodh el-Gharbi region is still only a large agricultural town of about 12,000 inhabitants. Equipped with an airport, Ayoun El-Atrouss is only missing a company that serves it to open it up... Former stage of the Paris-Dakar, which nowadays does not take place on the African continent, this region is a victim of the sword of Damocles that represents the terrorist threat at the borders. On the other hand, it is a reliable refueling point, if you decide to venture on the Road of Hope. In April 1974, a little south of Ayoun, a meteorite was observed falling.
