Tanouchert Oasis To Chinguetti

Go back to Mauritania.
Go back to Ouadane To Tanouchert Oasis.

After a night in an auberge at The Oasis, we again drove mostly cross country to Chinguetti, another medieval trading outpost but this one a bit better preserved and featuring some family owned manuscript collections (which, in my mind, makes it a bit like Timbuktu). We walked around the old city, got a couple of library tours, and enjoyed a lunch among the date palms just outside of town to escape the blowing sand.
