Nouakchott 🌍 is Mauritania’s windy capital, best for nomads seeking a low-key, authentic West African base. It has a growing but modest café scene, basic services, and improving connectivity, though power and internet can be inconsistent ⚡📶. Heat, dust, and limited walkability are trade-offs, but it’s affordable and uncrowded for adventurous remote workers.
