South in Ad Dakhla
There is no regular public transport running south to Mauritania or to the border, but finding a lift is usually not a problem. You can try to get a lift from overlanders (ask around at Camping Moussafir) or catch a ride with the Mauritanian traders, who gather on a lot opposite from the first police checkpoint north of Dakhla (take a petit taxi to get there for about 15-20 dh, or walk the 7 km). The going rate is 250Dh for a car (a minivan) or 350Dh for a Mercedes. The cars leave in the morning.
You can also organize your ride to Nouadhibou (350-400 dh, ca. 10 hours including border crossing) or Nouakchott (600 dh, min. 12 hours) at Hotel Sahara in the centre. Ask for Tawfiq. The cars leave around 7AM.
Be prepared to spend several hours on both sides of the border. The Mauritanian visa must be obtained in Rabat beforehand (as of January 2010). Be sure to check the current situation beforehand.
