Using mobile data in Mauritania: local tips
- Rainy-season disruption. Seasonal flooding between July and October can affect power and telecommunications in some areas, so keep a charged power bank and offline maps if travelling then.
- Apply for the e-visa online. Visas are no longer issued on arrival, so apply online through the national population register agency before you travel and carry a printed copy of the e-visa.
- Ambulance number. Dial 101 for an ambulance, though UK advice warns the authorities may not answer calls to this number.
- Mostly cash. Mauritania is mainly a cash-based society. A few hotels in Nouakchott and Nouadhibou accept credit cards, and some take only Visa.
