Amouj is a city in Mauritania, located in the west of the country, near the Atlantic coast. As the administrative center of the region, it plays an important role in the economic and social life of the area. The city's surroundings are dominated by a semi-arid landscape that reflects the typical environment of the edge of the Sahara Desert.
Amouage is situated in the transition zone between the desert and the coast of Mauritania, with a dry and hot climate and low average annual precipitation. Its location facilitates the connection between inland and coastal resources, and it has traditionally been based on agriculture and trade.
The city is a blend of Moorish and African cultural traditions, and its inhabitants are mostly engaged in animal husbandry, handicrafts and small-scale commerce. In recent years, with the improvement of infrastructure, Amuj has gradually participated in the regional economic network, but the overall development still maintains the traditional style.
As a local hub, Amouj has a real function in grassroots governance and community services in Mauritania, and although it is not a major tourist destination, it provides a typical case for studying town development in the Sahel.
