Nouakchott Airport
Recent Review
Visited the airport twice, in the middle of the night, due to very bad incoming and outgoing flights.
Passport checks is a real mess. It looks like you are in the souks. No queueing, everybody is pushing and no respect at all. The stronger, the better; the faster the better; the smaller the better.
On arrival, taxis wait outside, and don't hassle you as usual, however they will ask for a huge fare compared to the usual fare to go the airport from town (up to 2500 UM from the airport.... but only 300 UM from town)! Taxis are generally safe. I had no problem taking them at night, alone.
However, I did not experience any attempt of bribing from the officers, neither on arrival nor on departure a few days later, which is quite an exception in Africa. A few "porteurs" do try do get some money from you in exchange of "paperworks" on your way out, but you really don't need them: all the process can be done alone, and wasn't asked for cadeaux or money from police officers.
The last review for this airport was in 2008. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
