As Mauritania’s largest national park, and a UNESCO World Heritage site, Banc d’Arguin is a must-see attraction. It’s a protected coastline showing off naked, pristine Atlantic waters covering 12,000 km2 between Nouadhibou and Nouakchott. Banc d’Arguin was designated a world heritage site in 1982 because of its fishing villages that have maintained an isolated mariner’s way of life for centuries.
