The Oasis That Time Forgot | Terjit, Mauritania | EP09

One night at a spring-fed oasis — the kind of place Google Maps barely finds. In this episode: a stranger who turns out to be the best Mauritanian I've met, a comedic hunt for a bathroom mid-desert, sheep riding on a minibus roof, a Pakistani traveler who'll follow us all the way to Chinguetti, and a swim in a pool that's been feeding date palms for centuries. 📍 TERJIT TRAVEL GUIDE → Departure point: Emine Port, Nouakchott — minibuses leave from here → Where to stay: Camp Jemal — family-run, mud-brick rooms and tents under the palms → The oasis pool: a short walk (under 10 min) from camp → Population: my estimate, a few hundred people → Reserve ahead — seats and rooms fill fast ⚠️ TRAVEL TIP: The oasis pool is great for a swim — not for drinking. Keep it out of your eyes, mouth, and any open cuts. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🗺️ FULL SERIES: 3 Weeks in Africa | Morocco to Mauritania ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EP01 → A Stranger's House EP02 → The Refuge EP03 → Summit Day EP04 → Back to Marrakech EP05 → Dakhla to No Man's Land EP06 → Nouadhibou EP07 → Nouakchott EP08 → Camel Market EP09 → Terjit (YOU ARE HERE) EP10 → Chinguetti — Coming Soon ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 CHAPTERS 0:00 Into the Sahara — Cold Open 0:57 Arriving at Emine Port 1:14 Finding a Money Changer 2:51 Counting Cash, Counting Blessings 3:15 The Best Mauritanian I've Met 3:53 Waiting For a Ride 4:47 Ahmed!
