Nouakchott - Post Report Question and Answers

Definitely (said with enthusiasm). I’m not sure I would ever bit Nouakchott again simply because there are so many other places I would love to see, but through and through, Nouakchott has been a fantastic post to the point I worry about future posts having dud communities compared to here. - Jan 2023
