Workation in Nouadhibou: the essentials
Called Port-Étienne under French rule, Nouadhibou occupies a long Atlantic peninsula only a couple of kilometres from the Western Sahara border. Around 173,000 people live in Mauritania's second city, which earns its living from fishing, commerce and the iron ore that arrives from Zouerate on one of the longest trains in the world. Rusting ship hulks lie in the bay, and Banc d'Arguin National Park, a UNESCO site known for migratory birds, is further down the coast. The city is also a known departure point for migrant smuggling towards Europe, and the mood is that of a hard-working frontier port. The airport is about 2 km from town.
