Question

An important religious, historical, or cultural site that should be visited while in Mauritania. Why should this site be visited? (More than 5 complete sentences are required.)

Answer 1

According to Mauritanian government estimates, Sunni Muslims constitute approximately 99 percent of the population. Unofficial estimates indicate Sunni Muslims are approximately 98 percent of the population, Shia Muslims 1 percent, and non-Muslims, mostly Christians and a small group of Jews, a further 1 percent.

Answer 2

A site that should be visited while in Mauritania is Chinghetti. Chinghetti has a special place in the list of "Mauritania tourist attractions". It is the seventh holy city of the Islamic religion, and used to be considered a meeting place for Moorish pilgrims on their way to Mecca. For four centuries, because of the pilgrims, a real metropolis was formed here, merchants and craftsmen flocked here. Thanks to this, the city was built up with mosques, bazaars and other buildings that have been perfectly preserved to this day.

Hope this helps! :)
