Camping Terjit - Oasis Terjit - Mauritania

Terjit Oasis Mauritania Sahara

I loved my stayed in this camping. It’s exactly located on the rock valley right besides the water springs. You have maybe 10 tents spread along the valley along the water pools where you can choose to sleep.

Terjit is an oasis located in the mountains. This small village is supplied by two sources of water springs, something that is a bit rare in Mauritania. The water just runs down the rock until it gets the floor and forms these amazing pools where one can delight yourself swimming and bathing while the sun is strong in the desert. The rock formation where this spring is located makes it very fresh and calm.

Natural water springs is enough, bathrooms are quite clean. If you go a bit off the path on the camping, you'll find some trash and dirty water, but that’s a bit before the camping where all that water goes after it passes the camping…

The entrance to the camping in the same to the oasis because the camping is located right in the oasis that’s why it’s so nice. As soon as you arrive there, you can see the valley starting on our right with the rock. The camping is located right on the bottom of the valley where the pools are located. You can make small trips to see the carved pre-historical drawings on the rock cliffs.

Prices

1500UM each person. 700UM if you only want to visit the oasis.
