Fort Barka, Mauritania: a quiet town on the edge of the Sahara
Fort-Gouraud is a small town in the province of Terrazza in western Mauritania, located in the transition zone between the Sahara Desert and the North Atlantic Ocean, about 400 kilometers from the capital Nouakchott. Once a French colonial military stronghold, it retains some of its historical architectural monuments, and today its main economic activity is agro-pastoralism, with gum arabic, date palms and livestock in the vicinity. As a transportation node to the southern region of Mauritania, Fort Barka is a blend of desert nomadic culture and coastal trading traditions, with an arid climate, little rainfall and a significant temperature difference between day and night, making it one of the windows to the Mauritanian interior.
