Nouadhibou
Mauritania, Mauritania
Nouadhibou, Mauritania's second-largest city with around 173,000 residents, sits on the 65-kilometer Ras Nouadhibou peninsula near the Atlantic coast and the Western Sahara border, serving as the country's main commercial port and economic hub.
Formerly Port-Étienne, it thrives on fishing, iron ore exports via a dedicated pier and 674-km railway from inland mines, and handles migrant routes toward Europe, while featuring neighborhoods like Cansado and Numerowatt around its airport and markets.
Notable sights include the world's largest ship graveyard with over 300 scuttled vessels, the striking Table Remarquable rock formation, seasonal Mediterranean monk seal colonies at nearby Cap Blanc, and proximity to Banc d'Arguin National Park for birdwatching and marine life.
