Parc National Du Banc d'Arguin

This UNESCO world heritage site located on the Atlantic Coast of Mauritania is one of the best spots worldwide for bird watching.

The park comprises sand-dunes, coastal swamps, small islands and shallow coastal waters.

The contrast between the harsh desert environment and the biodiversity of the marine zone has resulted in a land- and seascape of outstanding natural significance.

Each year over 4 millions birds migrate to the area hwere they spend the winter.

Several species of sea turtle and dolphin, used by the fishermen to attract shoals of fish, can also be found.
