Mauritania
MR
Where the Sahara Desert meets the Sahara Desert, and then they both say, "Uh, I think we took a wrong turn."
Mauritania: The country where camels are more common than cars, and goats are more common than traffic laws.
Mauritania: Where the only thing more vast than the desert is the government's sense of humor – or lack thereof.
The Richat Structure, also known as the "Eye of the Sahara," is a prominent circular feature in the Mauritanian desert visible from space.
Mauritania has some of the longest trains in the world, used to transport iron ore, often exceeding 2.5 kilometers in length.
