Atar
Atar is an important city in northwestern Mauritania and the capital of the province of Adrar, located on the edge of the Sahara Desert about 440 kilometers from the capital, Nouakchott. As the third largest city in Mauritania, Atar is the gateway to the desert towns of Sharm el-Sheikh and Tijikja, and has a long history and unique cultural heritage. Scattered around the city are historical sites such as ancient petroglyphs and the Kouba Mosque, which bear witness to the transformation of civilization in the Sahara. Attar is also a traditional center of desert trade, where local handicrafts and agricultural and pastoral products are distributed, while its proximity to Mount Ain Ben Tourak (the highest peak in Mauritania) and the Rigiz National Park makes it an important base for exploring the natural beauty of the Sahara, attracting many tourists and explorers.
