Do you know Mauritania?

Mauritania is one of the West African countries. Its full name is the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Mali to the east, Senegal to the south, and Morocco and Algeria to the north. Mauritania was originally a French colony with an area of 1,030,700 square kilometers. Half of the territory belongs to the Sahara Desert, and the only perennial river in the territory is the Senegal River and its tributaries on the southwest border.

Now the whole country is divided into the capital Nouakchott, 12 provinces, 53 counties, and the county is divided into districts. There are 216 municipalities in the country. Up to 75% of the people live in urban areas such as the capital Nouakchott, Nouadhibou in the northwest and the Senegal River. The other 25% of the people live a nomadic life, due to the hot and dry climate and poor living conditions.

Islam is the state religion of Mauritania and almost everyone believes in it.

Due to limited resources and climatic factors, Mauritania’s economy is underdeveloped.

Customs of Mauritania

From the perspective of geography, culture, and society, Mauritania is an Arab country and an African country. It is called the Arab-African bridge. Therefore, it has both Arab and African customs.

Because they believe in Islam, they do not drink alcohol at meals, only water, and mainly drink camel milk. Whenever VIPs were left alone, they would take out big gourd crumbs, bring camels on the spot, squeeze out big bowls of milk, and let the guests take turns to drink as a show of respect.

If there is a special event for a banquet, please eat all roast lamb. Mauritanians like to drink tea very much. But they usually drink green tea, not black tea. Their tea is as strong as coffee, with a small amount of sugar and fresh mint juice added to the tea. The taste is sweet and mellow, slightly bitter and astringent. Tea is a necessity for customers, they call it “meeting with three cups of tea”.

Tea imports in Mauritania

When the Mauritania people prayed every morning, they started drinking tea. Mauritanians generally drink tea three times a day, three cups each time. On holidays or at home, they can drink tea more than ten times. It takes about 20 grams of tea to make tea once, usually brew three times. Therefore, the consumption of tea in Mauritania is very large. A household in the city consumes about 6 kilograms of tea per month, and most of them buy 5 kilograms or 10 kilograms at a time.

Mauritania people eat more beef and mutton and camel milk every day, and drink tea to help digestion. The weather is hot and people are very tired. Drinking strong sugar tea can invigorate the spirit, relieve fatigue and enhance physical fitness. Therefore, the Mauritania people should not be without tea for a day. The tea-drinking style is prosperous. If they do not drink tea for three days, they will feel headache and uncomfortable, and the whole body will be weak.
