[[File:Train_ndb-choûm_(27).JPG|thumb|right|300px|The longest train in the world, which runs from [[Nouadhibou]] to [[Choum]] and [[Zouerate]]
'''Mauritania''' doesn't seem to be a good place for hitchhiking, at least in the conventional sense. The majority of vehicles are shared taxis and most private vehicles which stop will charge the same rates.
You may have luck with other overlanders or the Euro-African car traders who bring vehicles from EU to [[Senegal]] and [[Mali]]. Some hitchhikers got many lifts by them there.
You can also get in to Mauritania with Mauritanian traders, who can be found opposite the first police checkpoint north of Dakhla. The price for a journey to Nouadhibou is currently 250-380Dhs (negotiable).
 
The train from [[Nouadhibou]] to [[Choum]] and [[Zouerate]] is free if you ride in an ore hopper - most passengers do anyway.
