The most popular tourist draw for visitors coming to Mauritania… the iron ore desert train is an adventure travelers dream. The train ports raw iron—in the form of ore lumps or filings—from the mine in Zouerat and F’derik to the export city of Nouadhibou. It is the longest single-rail track in the world. Adventure travelers enjoy hopping on board the train and riding it for over 10 hours overnight to the coast atop the open train cars.
