 hi, asside from the locusts and the dunes are there any dangers from bandits, political/religious extremeists, etc?

 Ali, this was a fascinating read - you did shoot me right into the desert :-)) Mauritania is now on my wishlist, serious, because I love this contrast between sand and rocks of all kinds. And sleeping under the stars... :-))

 Yes, I'm sure the silence of the desert at night must have been a unique experience -- except when you camped by the railway or heard those bleating goats all night. A fascinating page about an unusual journey!
