That country is Mauritania.
Mauritania is a country in Northwest Africa, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Senegal to the southwest, Mali to the east and southeast, Algeria to the northeast, and Western Sahara to the northwest. Its landscape is dominated by the Sahara Desert, with vast sand dunes and arid terrain characterizing much of the country.
The capital and largest city, Nouakchott, lies on the Atlantic coast and serves as a key cultural and economic hub. Mauritania has a diverse cultural heritage influenced by Arab and African traditions, reflected in its music, cuisine, and architecture. The country is also known for its historical trading cities, like Chinguetti, which were important centers of Islamic learning and commerce.
