Dakhla is the last big town if you are going south to Mauritania…
Surprisely clean and nice – developed by Marocco. Again no info in the guidebook so let you know: inexpensive and friendly place to stay – Hotel Bahia just at the CTM bus station – only 30 dirham per bed rate, share shower, one sheet only but beautiful view of the sunrise on the bay just from the room window…
No more regular buses on Atlantic route – I was forced to look around the town for the onward transport. It took half a day and now I know:
ask people at the market and little hotels for Mauretania truck drivers – their little trucks park at the check point at the entry of the town. They take cargo to Mauritania and also passengers to Nouadhibou. Bargain is hard – finally I got the price applied to the locals: 400 dirham in the front cabin and 300 dirham in the back – with cargo. We will depart tomorrow at 8.30 am……
