Workation in Nouakchott: the essentials
A mid-sized coastal village when construction of the new capital began in 1958, Nouakchott was planned for 15,000 people and now holds nearly 1.5 million, making it one of the largest cities in the Sahara. Drought in the 1970s drove huge numbers in from the countryside, and the city still sprawls in low concrete districts with sand drifting through the side streets. The fishing harbour on the Atlantic, where wooden pirogues land their catch, is the most memorable sight in a place with no old town to speak of. It also has a deepwater port and the University of Nouakchott. Nouakchott-Oumtounsy International Airport is about 25 km north.
