Mauritania: Unknown Sahara

In search of roads less travelled, the author seeks to captivate the reader through the story of a country that remains largely outside the circuits of international tourism. The journey leads across one of the least-visited regions of the Sahara, following ancient caravan routes that once connected Morocco and Mali, and rediscovering cities half-buried beneath the sands, where a deep and little-known culture still lies hidden. Along the way, the author recounts encounters with desert peoples who continue to live according to traditions long forgotten elsewhere, welcoming strangers as honoured guests and offering them the unforgettable experience of nights spent among the dunes beneath a canopy of stars, sipping tea in the silence of the desert. As always, the book takes the form of a "false" travel guide-a pretext for sharing the emotions, stories, and experiences gathered by the author during this remarkable journey.
