An
overview of Mauritanian society
The social incubator of projects and human circumstances surrounding the
investment land is one of the most important factors for the success and
continuity of work. Mauritanian society has all the wonderful traits that
distinguish it among the Arab and international communities.
It is a generous society by nature that likes to do good and cares about
the interests of others. Its people are characterized tactfully dealing and
good listening.
The Mauritanian society is one of the least
Arabian societies in committing crimes... They are peaceful
people who do not interfere with the affairs of others. You’d rarely see a
dispute that developed into a brawl or reaches the stage of beatings with hands
and attacks.
The traits of generosity and hospitality are predominant among the
people of Mauritania. They are open to others and at the same time maintain
their values. They integrate and keep their privacy and distinctiveness at the
same time.
