    Before
    The west-coast corridor (Nouakchott, Nouadhibou, Banc d'Arguin) and the western Adrar around Atar, Chinguetti and Ouadane see travelers routinely. The UK Foreign Office advises against all travel to the east and to within 25 km of the Mali border because of terrorism risk, and against all but essential travel to much of the rest of the interior, including the southern provinces. Petty crime is moderate; the bigger constraints are distance, heat and thin infrastructure.
