Visit Gorgol


Gorgol is a region in the African nation of Mauritania, located in the southwestern corner of the country near the Senegal River. Although it is largely made up of desert land, Gorgol offers countless tourist attractions that draw travelers from around the world. Its capital city, Boutilimit, is home to many traditional Mauritanian buildings and mosques. Tourists can also visit several large oases and springs dotted throughout Gorgol's desert landscape; these provide both nourishment for local wildlife as well as beautiful scenery for visitors to admire.

For those interested in history, Gorgol has much to offer. One place tourists must stop by is Ksar el-Kebir--a small settlement close to Boutilimit known for its ancient ruins dating back over 1000 years old and its centuries-old mosque with intricate Islamic designs. Additionally, at Mtchassirat you can view petroglyphs from over 5000 years ago carved into rock walls by nomadic people who used them for communication and storytelling long before writing was invented.

With its captivating culture and unique natural beauty, Gorgol makes an unforgettable destination on any traveler's list!
