La Mamounia
Very Morocco Package
Stay 3 nights & receive a 30 minute relaxing massage on arrival, a Marrakech guided tour and a Hammam Evasion. ... more
This sleepy date-palm oasis, once a splendid Saharan trading city, is the seventh holiest city of Islam and is situated at the edge of fat, rolling dunes that fill the horizon. It's Mauritania's biggest tourist destination, mainly because it's the most accessible of the desert towns, with the most to see, and a popular starting point for desert treks.
The highlight of any visit is a wander through the labyrinthine lanes of Le Ksar (the old town). The modern town, which has a delightful market (remarkable for how little produce is available), is separated from the old town by a broad, flat wadi where palm trees grow. Other curios include tiny libraries housing ancient, dusty manuscripts.
