While large parts of the traditional architecture of Atar was destroyed by floods and rain in early 1990's, this oasis, one of the largest settlements in Mauritania's north, has enough to hold the interest of most visitors.
Atar is a very lively town, an important market centre for a vast region, with nomads coming into town in order to stock up, as well as sell their products (mainly foodstuffs and animals).
Atar has a number of great excursions, with stone circles 10 km to the north, or to Azougui 15 to the northwest.
