Gerak Darma's team stopped at Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International Airport. We are not catching a flight. Just need to pick up Mr. Hasan Alkamel's luggage. He arrived in Mauritania from Libya a few weeks ago, but his luggage did not. He finally got a call to pick up his luggage.

Gerak Darma's team enjoys the view from up the breathtaking mountain. It is a rocky mountain with no vegetation around. The paved road is superb and has a few hairpin turns. Once we reach the valley on the other side of the mountain, we should be 50 kilometers away from Atâr.

A group photo of Gerak Darma's team and our hosts at Hôtel Al Salam Resort, Nouakchott, Mauritania. This is the end of our visit to Mauritania. This photo was taken just before we left for the airport. It had been a marvelous exploration and adventure in Mauritania.

It was a lovely lunch, and we thanked our friend Mr. Jedu for his hospitality and delicious food. As you can see, nothing has gone to waste. Gerak Darma's team enjoyed a delicious lunch with friends in Nouakchott, Mauritania.

The road after Choûm, Adrar, Mauritania takes us to a mountain pass near a small commune called Leweinat in the Adrar Region of Mauritania. We are on our way to Atâr. The mountain pass takes us through a winding road going up and down a mountain.

We have finally arrived in Azougui, Adrar Region, Mauritania. Traveling through the street of Azougui, Gerak Darma's team passed many orchards, especially date palms. Azougui was a town in north-western Mauritania, lying on the Adrar Plateau, northwest of Atâr.

A farewell dinner at our host's house in Nouakchott, Mauritania. This dinner marks the end of our adventure in Mauritania. Tomorrow, Gerak Darma's team will fly to Tunis, Tunisia. Our host really outdid himself for this dinner. The variety of food on the table was mindblowing.

Many of the newcomers settled in slum areas of the city that were poorly maintained and extremely overcrowded. By the mid-1980s, Nouakchott's population was estimated to be between 400,000 to 500,000.

Lunch is served. An impressive smorgasbord of food, prepared by our friend at his house in Nouakchott, Mauritania. The main dish is barbeque lamb. We are also served with chicken, potatoes, and olives.

As of 2019, the city had a population of nearly 1.2 million people and serves as the hub of the Mauritanian economy. It is home to a deepwater port and Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International Airport, one of the country's two international airports.

Once a mid-sized coastal village, Nouakchott was selected as the capital for the nascent nation of Mauritania, with construction beginning in 1958.

Gerak Darma's team is exploring another part of Nouakchott City. This district is full of shops for a variety of things. It shows the vibrant life of this metropolis city.

Traveled to another house in Nouakchott City, Mauritania. This house is located in another nice residential area. It was not easy to find this house, but a car with GPS made the navigation easier. A beautiful house in an affluent suburb.

We are not far from Choûm, Adrar, Mauritania in the Adrar Region of Mauritania. The iron ore train heading to Zouérate in the Tiris Zemmour Region passed us. Gerak Darma's team is so excited to see the train again.

We were greeted by our host (pink shirt) and his helper (the big guy). A short visit since we will be back for dinner here. Gerak Darma's team headed to the hotel to freshen up and will be back here for dinner.

We got a room/chalet at the Hotel Auberge in Azougui Village in the Arar Region of Mauritania. The team decided to check out the room before settling in. A beautiful rounded chalet, built with natural slates using traditional methods. The inside is comfortable and is all white.

We stopped at an area where train carriages from a derailment were left to rot in the hot sun near Choûm, Adrar, Mauritania in the Adrar Region of Mauritania. The wreckage must have been from a train derailment some time ago. It looks like a scrap metal junkyard.
