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 can be useful for calls, WhatsApp and mobile data. Bring your passport and confirm registration requirements locally.
Coverage can become weak or unavailable outside major cities and remote areas. Download maps and key information offline before leaving.
Cash is important in many situations. Cards may not work everywhere. Prepare small notes and confirm payment options before booking services.
Mauritanian Eye request flows are manual first: we confirm details before any deposit or payment.
