My experience traversing the Banc d'Arguin tracks in Mauritania

Our 4x4 expedition through the coastal tracks of Mauritania was incredible, though the soft sand near the Nouadhibou border required us to drop our tire pressure to 1.2 bar. We spent three days unsupported and found the route perfectly navigable as long as you carry extra fuel for the stretches between Nouamghar and the capital.

That sounds like an incredible adventure; we had a similar challenge with sand dunes in the Sahara last year. Did you find the navigation through the coastal sections difficult without a local guide?
