Last month they only had diesel, no petrol. To be on the safe side you need 320 miles worth of fuel, plus reserve, to get from Nouadhibou to Nouakchott.

distance?
hee
What is approximately the distance between nouhabidhou and atar. And is it possible to complete the way with a 4x4 subaru forester? Maybe we want to drive this road in begin August. And then from Atar go south to Nouakchott. That's a better way, isn't it?
ps. sorry for my bad English.

the distance is 540 kms, acc to my memory. It is possible with forester, why not.
road better to what? If you need to get to Nuakschott, the 'best' is new tarmac of course... and the most boring...

good
Atar-NKT is very good tarmac, no problems.
Nouadhibou-Atar is fine. Soft sand in places definitely. We drove it 18 months ago with heavily laden trailers (which kill off-road ability). We opted for the tracks at times when piste was unworkable (for us). Keep a look out for trains! The flat tyre we had whilst on the train tracks (I kid you not) was replaced in F1 pit-stop time!!!
