Oasis of Mhairith

The most productive oasis in Mauritania—Oasis of Mhairith is a large date-producing oasis nestled at the edge of the White Valley. It’s a small village with quaint streets and humble offerings. There is a perennial pool of water on the south of the village brimming with verdant vegetation where soft sand and craggy hills meet. It makes for a great lunch spot, and, for some, even a swim.
