Indeed there is a lot of goudron between Choum and Zouerat now, and they are working on it. Lots of roads being built in Mauretania.
Going south from Atar, nice goudron all the way to Oujeft
Then it gets patchy. Chinese, French and Mauretanian companies building, but at a standstill at many places. 4wd recommended to reach Tikjidja
And the companies are paid for construction, but noone is paid to keep the road open
Even trucks having tlo be dug out on the new goudron
Some of the bumps look innocuous but packed sand can ruin your suspension so go easy
stuck - front and rear in the shit
some nice stretches, with no traffic whatsoever - how is it paid for?
rondpoints
From Tikjidja going south still some 200 kms nice sandy piste, then the last 100 kms to Kiffa is new goudron.
