Another One goes west to [[AzouguiKsar Torchane]] - getting not far north, towards the train stop at [[Choum]]. It's very unlikely to get a lift here is easy, just stand by the size of the road just out of town (past the oued away from the central roundabout in the city) and hold your hand out with palm facing although bush taxis do the road.

Another goes west to [[ChinguettiAzougui]] and [[Ouadâne]].

Another goes west to [[Chinguetti]] and [[Ouadâne]]. Hitching is harder on these roads as the towns are quite touristy and not densely inhabited, and it's more likely that you'll have to pay for a bush taxi. However as with anywhere in Mauritania it's possible that you'll be offered space on the back of a passing pick-up truck for nothing. The fourth goes south to [[Nouakchott]] and to [[Aïn Ehel Taya]], where there is an army checkpoint at the turn-off for [[Terjît]] and [[Ouadâne]]. The military here are initially official but become friendly after you've chatted with them for a bit and can get passers-by to pick you up. It's possible to get a lift to [[Nouakchott]] but more likely that you'll end up taking a bush taxi. [[Category:Mauritania]]{{IsIn|Mauritania}}{{Category|City's}}
