Western Sahara Tourist Trap Tips by johnsakura Top 5 Page for this destination

Border Morocco Mauritania

Border closes from 6pm to 8:30am
If you come here you have to make sure you dont pass these times. the border in north morocco never closes but this one here has this special schedule.

Unique Suggestions: when i was coming from mauritania to morocco (western sahara) for the first time i had to sleep on the mauritnian side cos the border here was closed. and it didnt make any sense of leaving the police protection area durgin night time in a very dangerous are where we could be killed.

No petrol stations between many kms!

from dakhla to bir guendouz (aprox. 400km) you only have one petrol station that sometimes can be out of gasoline or diesel.
this is located i think 80 or 180 (hehehe sorry about the 100km difference) from bir guendouz!!

Unique Suggestions: take enough to reach Nouadhibou.
