  In the middle of a desert stands an oasis city that has stood for over 800 years. Chinguetti and its famous mosque are remnants of an ancient tradition of faith that still exists in Mauritania - where almost everyone is still sent to Quran school to memorize the Quran. Alongside being a centre of learning, the mosque was for many years the gathering point of West Africans planning the pilgrimage to Makkah.

  The most picturesque place of chinguetti. Unfortunately no Muslim can’t enter but you still can get a pic through the doors. Make sure you climb up for best views!!

  The oldest mosque in Mauritania in the most spiritual city in the country. This mosque has a unique feeling, a unique sent and architecture you don’t find anywhere else. I was thrilled to see it, to enter it and to witness a sunset beside it. I would definitely come back, hopefully for a longer period.

  Jama Mosque at Chinguetti, Mauritania, built in13th-14th century is an historical mosque. The mosque is in continuous use since then. It is a very remarkable thing.
