Chinguitti

Apparently there is some Islamic city league that I’m not aware of because Chinguitti is ranked 7th in the world. Positions 5 and 6 are up for grabs but 7th is theirs. I had a great time in Chinguitti staying in the old city, hanging out with people, sleeping on the roof, watching the stars, walking in the desert.

Chinguitti also has some 12 Islamic librairies from the 8th century or so and I went to all of one. Anyway the bra there had a clipping from an South African Muslim Views and hugged me like a brother. Oddly enough it wasn’t that freaky and pretty cool. Great people in Chinguitti. I kept getting invited out for tea and meals. Most touristic village in Mauritania but still has that old school vibe.
