Rosso, Mauritania

Displayed:   times.

Rosso, on the Senegalese border, is a busy town of almost 30,000 residents. Despite the large population and the large amount of passing traffic, there is actually very little to see in Rosso. Still, the road trip from the capital is interesting - often made more so by frequent police checks - and it's possible to visit on a day-trip. The town does boast Mauritania's only black market, but authorities take a dim view even of curious tourists, so steer clear of anything that looks dodgy. Rosso is 160km (100mi) south of Nouakchott.
