Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International (NKC) serves as Mauritania’s main international gateway and typically functions as a modest hub for regional and some long-haul flights rather than a large transfer center. Carriers are usually a mix of national and regional airlines, with occasional European or African connections; budget options can be limited. The airport lies about 25–30 km southeast of downtown Nouakchott, and transfers are commonly by taxi or private shuttle—journeys can take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and road conditions, with fares typically on the inexpensive side for taxis. Pros: direct access to the capital and basic passenger facilities; cons: services and dining choices can be limited and transfer times may be longer when road conditions are poor.

Located about 45–50 km east of Dakar’s city center, it typically takes 45–75 minutes by car depending on traffic; shared shuttles, private taxis and bus services link the terminal with fares that can vary widely but are usually affordable compared with private transfers.
