Tourists and family visitors both need to prepare before landing. A Nouakchott arrival and a trip into the Adrar require different planning, so keep pickup messages and booking details available offline, then download your route while you still have a stable connection. Our recommendations below cover arrival, transport and data use.

Before flying into Nouakchott, have your accommodation confirm the driver, meeting point and exact address. Save that message locally so finding your transfer at the airport doesn't depend on an immediate mobile connection.
The national tourism office lists the capital's markets and fishing port among the sights. Give your driver a specific gate or meeting pin when planning a visit; the name of a big market alone won't tell them where to find you.
Use your data to pull up a reservation or message your host. If the person collecting you will only take a standard phone call, arrange a separate calling option, because this plan has no local phone number.
Save before you goYour hotel address, the agreed pickup point and a copy of your driver's message.
The national tourism office highlights Chinguetti's old town and 13th-century mosque. Before you set off, get the guesthouse location and the meeting point for any arranged visit from your host or guide.
For a library or other interior you want to enter, confirm access directly. A saved web page helps you get oriented, but it doesn't stand in for a booking or current local advice.
For the road leg, download the area map and write your return plan down. Don't count on steady mobile coverage between towns. If directions and messages matter most, save photo backups for Wi-Fi.
Save before you goYour guesthouse pin, guide's details, offline map and return transport agreement.
