Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025

Taxis

Taxis are the primary and most readily available mode of transport from the airport. They are located outside the arrivals terminal. Fares are not metered, so it is crucial to negotiate and agree on a price with the driver before beginning the trip. The journey to the city center is approximately 25 km and takes around 30-40 minutes.

Rental Cars

Several car rental companies, including international brands like Europcar and Sixt, as well as local providers, have counters inside the airport terminal. It is highly recommended to book a vehicle in advance to ensure availability and secure better rates. An International Driving Permit may be required along with your standard license.

Public Transportation

There is no formal public bus or train service connecting the airport directly to Nouakchott's city center. The main alternatives to taxis are pre-booked private transfers or shuttle services, which are often arranged through hotels. It is advisable to check with your accommodation to see if they provide an airport shuttle.
