Details about this trip
This Mauritania photography trip will last 9 days and 8 nights, taking us to very different regions of Africa. I have been organizing photography trips for 18 years and am an award-winning photographer. Together, we will travel safely and discover another country. The silence of golden sand dunes, the dusty shelves of ancient libraries, the wild waves of the Atlantic, and the colorful life of fishing villages… This photography trip will bring together the captivating world of the Sahara Desert and the Atlantic coast. During our 9-day journey from the depths of the desert to the seashore, we will explore both historical towns and unspoiled nature, never putting down our cameras.

Hello! My name is Zehra and I'm an archeologist and art historian. My trips are based on photography. Those who want to join my trips will learn how to take good photos. On my travels, I enjoy going to interesting places that not everyone visits, and sometimes even staying in touristy areas. Over the past 18 years, I've organized trips to approximately 50 countries around the world and visited 84 countries.

Most of our trip will involve staying in hotels. However, there is one park area we will be visiting where we will be staying in an inn. Our accommodations will generally be in very good hotels. However, when we travel outside of major cities, staying in star-rated hotels is not possible, so we have chosen the best possible locations for our stay.
