border western sahara - mauritania
hello there,
i am new here. this website seems a great source of information. here is my question;
i am planning a trip by car from Europe to Gambia. it's not my intention to go off-road, since i have a normal peugeot passenger car. i've heard that recently the road from nouadhibou to nouackshott is aphalted in total. my question is about the bordercrossing into Mauritania. i have heard that from western sahara there is 2 kilometers of sand untill mauritania (where the new asphalt begins, I guess near Nouadhibou). there are a lot of mines in the area. i also heard that there are a lot of different sandroads in different directions from there. is mauritania/nouadhibou signposted from there? or should i better take a guide? i wouldn't like to drive on a mine or something (i don't know how high that risk is, but I'd better be careful).
any reply is much appreciated, thx.
