Atâr Getting There & Away
[Edit]
Getting There & Away
Attar is the end of the main road going north-east form Nouakchott. Getting there is not much of a problem since it is a local transport hub.
Iron-Ore Train
You can get to Atar by train from NDB via Choum. The train ride between NDB and Choum should take about 12hrs. It leaves NDB at around 2pm for Choum and leaves Choum at about 6pm (though there may be a loooooong wait) heading the other direction. You can either travel in a compartiment but be prepared to fight to get in or you can travel in the iron-ore bins for free - it gets very cold at night so bring warm clothes.
