SIM, Internet & Money in Mauritania
What to prepare before arrival: mobile internet, WhatsApp, cash, cards and payments.
Some travelers prefer setting up an eSIM before arrival. Availability, prices and coverage depend on the provider.
A local SIM is useful for calls, WhatsApp and mobile data. Bring your passport when visiting an official agency.
Coverage can become weak or unavailable outside major cities and remote areas. Download maps and key information offline before leaving.
Cash remains essential in many situations, while international cards are limited. Keep small notes for daily use.
