Just to update this, I did go to the border and had no problem getting the visa. IT's such a professional set up with biometric equipment and highly educated staff that it seems unlikely that you'd be refused it.
Saying that, the owner of a campsite near Merzouga told me that two Belgians were refused six months ago. I can only imagine they pissed somebody off, but who knows.

Last time I crossed the border there was a group of Polish bikers who looked very tired after having waited 24 hrs. Dunno what the fuzz was about.
Have yer papers in good order, personal & vehicle.

I was at the Mauritania embassy in Rabat yesterday (29/07/2015). Price was still 340Dh ! Talking to the people there, this will probably stay like this in the near future.
Unfortunately there was a 2 day waiting period because of the high volume of requests, this combined with a public holiday and a weekend, would mean a 6 day wait for our visa. Unfortunately, this means we will be getting our visa at the border instead for the inflated price of 120€
Procedure still the same. Apply before 11am. 2 photocopies of passport. 2 passphotos and you get a form to fill in. The photos need to be stapled to the form, so bring your stapler, or use the one from the fixer onsite. Prices are quoted in euro on the form outside of the building (34€), but payment seems to be preferred (required?) in Dirham (340Dh).

So, I was just about to post a picture of the official price list that hangs outside the embassy in Rabat. But now I read on a french forum that prices have changed again on 10th August and it got more expensive.
So, although very recent, this is no longer correct:
Quote:
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=2][COLOR=#191C1F]Nouvelles fraiches ! Je suis allė ce matin à l ambassade de Mauritanie à Rabat (31.08.15). L ambassade a bien ėtė fermėe pendant 2 semaines sans que personne ne sache pourquoi. Rėouverture ce matin à 09:10^^ le prix des visas a changė le 10 aout dernier
Entrėe simple 1 mois 1000dh
Entrėe simple 3 mois 1100 dh
Pas possible de payer en €
Remplissez le formulaire à l avance, vous gagnerez du temps. 2 photos passeport et 2 copies du passeport
Visa rėcupėrė le jour mėme à 15:00
Il est bien possible de prendre le visa à la frontiėre mais cela coûte 120€ d'apres l ambassadeur qui n'ėtait pas vraiment disposė à me donner des infos.

You should read it right to left.. then it makes more sense :-) It was 1 month single entry, 1 month double entry and 1 year double entry.
But the important bit is: those prices date from July 29 and are seemingly no longer correct since August 10 (cannot confirm myself, check the French forum for source)
