Africa. It shares its borders with Senegal to the southwest, Mali to the east and southeast, Algeria to the northeast, Western Sahara to the north and northwest, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"JUSTIFY\"><b>What is the Geography of Mauritania?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Mauritania is one of the largest countries in Africa. It is spread across a total area of 1,030,700 sq. km (400,000 sq. mi), out of which 1,030,700 sq. km (400,000 sq. mi) is land area and 0 sq. km (0 sq. mi) is water area.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Here is <a href=\"\/mauritania\/physical-map-of-mauritania.html\">Mauritania Physical Map<\/a> showing all physical feature of the country.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">It has a 5,002 km (3,108 mi) long land boundary, which is shared with four neighboring countries or territories: Mali (2,236 km or 1,389 mi), Western Sahara (1,564 km or 972 mi), Senegal (742 km or 461 mi), and Algeria (460 km or 286 mi). Mauritania has a 754 km (469 mi) long coastline.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The terrain is dominated by the flat and barren plains of the Sahara Desert. However, some hills are there in the central region. The mean elevation of the country is 276 m (905.5 ft). While Kediet Ijill at 915 m (3,002 ft) is the highest elevation point of Mauritania, Sebkhet Te-n-Dghamcha at -5 m (-16.4 ft) is the lowest elevation point of the country.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The landscape of Mauritania is mostly flat consisting of vast plains punctuated by cliff-like outcropping or occasional ridges. In the central region of the country, a series of sandstone plateaus bisect the plains, which gives way to\u00a0<span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">oase<\/span>s that are fed by the springs.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The Guelb er Richat (popularly known as the Eye of the Sahara), is the most prominent feature of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. A wide array of intrusive as well as extrusive igneous rocks is present in the deeply eroded dome. Over 3\/4<sup>th<\/sup> of the landscape is dominated by desert and semi-desert. The place gets a lot of droughts and that\u2019s why the arid land is also expanding.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The general climate in Mauritania is desert-like. However, three climatic conditions can be found in the country in three different regions. A Sahelian climate is found in southern Mauritania. A single rainy season is found in the place, which starts in July and ends in October. In the far south, the average annual rainfall level is around 66 cm (26 in).
