This marked is located in center of town. Looking like is in rush but still everything working perfect. They selling everything here.

“Rubbish ...!”

Nov 2017

Nouakchott does not have much to offer , so you probably should go and visit 'Marché Capitale' . But don't expect too much : you most surely will find nothing of interest to buy - but you get a glimpse of eveydaylife in Mauretania .

Good to know the local

May 2017 • Friends

A lot of clothes from traditional to used western, fruits, accessory, kitchen tools, electronic stuff, etc.

欧米からの古着が大量に無造作に置かれていた。モーリタニアという国でどんな日用品が売られているのか、買いに来ている１人など興味深い。

Crowded place for local shopping

Jun 2016 • Friends

This is a place meant for the locals to do their shopping, hence it is crowded. I visited the place during Ramadan, adding more pressure for the festival shopping.
If you are looking for chinese goods to local stuff, this is the market to visit.
Dont expect comfortable shopping, but you could actually ending up having a good bargain, if you have decided to buy.
Knowing Arabic would certainly help.
I was here more on a curious trip than to do any buying

Dec 2012 • Business

It is really not worth going there. Nothing to see and nothing to buy or do. Just skip it. It is really a big chaos

Simple market for every thing

Aug 2015 • Family

You will find many things available in Mauritania at marche capitale. But I have to admit it is not my favorite place for shopping. If you just have time for one visit to a market skip this one and go to marche cinquieme.
