PARCEL DELIVERY AND COURIER SERVICES TO MAURITANIA
While oftentimes overlooked, Mauritania is a true hidden treasure with magnificently coloured sand dunes, stunning plateaus and lush oases dotting the arid land. The country’s rich culture, ancient mosques, World Heritage listed caravan towns and largest monolith in Africa amaze with their old-world charm. Mauritania encompasses both North Africa’s Maghreb and West Africa’s Sahel regions. Most of the country’s 3,596,702 people are concentrated in the south as nearly 90% of the country consists of the Sahara Desert. Mauritania’s name is derived from the ancient Berber kingdom of Mauretania, which existed in present-day northern Morocco from the third century BC to seventh century AD. Its population is nearly split evenly by black Africans and Moors of Arab-Berber descent. The country gained its independence from France in 1960. Since then, it has struggled to gain economic growth and stability. The country’s economy is still heavily dependent on natural resources and agriculture – nearly half of the population relies on agriculture and livestock. Mauritania does have extensive mineral resources and recent foreign investment in the mining and oil sectors have helped drive the economy and allow for more competitive courier services to Mauritania.
