	Mauritania Geography
		The scarps also separate a series of sandstone plateaus, the highest of which is the Adrar Plateau, reaching an elevation of 500 meters.
		The plateaus gradually descend toward the northeast to the barren El Djouf, or "Empty Quarter," a vast region of large sand dunes that merges into the Sahara Desert.
		To the west, between the ocean and the plateaus, are alternating areas of clayey plains (regs) and sand dunes (ergs), some of which shift from place to place, gradually moved by high winds.

	The Adrar Mountains, Mauritania - Chasing the Lizard’s Tail
		The town of Atâr lies on the western cusp of the Adrar massif, of which it is the regional capital as well as its largest settlement (it has a population of around 20,000).
		The Adrar, together with the adjoining Tagant Mountains, is the historic heartland of Mauritania, and effectively shelters Atâr from both the trade wind and the Harmattan, and therefore from most of the sand.
		The Adrar is one of the Sahara's six major microcosms, and is without doubt Mauritania's most important agricultural region, producing dates, millet, sorghum, barley, watermelons, tobacco and vegetables, albeit in quantities nowhere near large enough to make any impression on Mauritania's massive import requirements.

	Mauritania
		With the death of Ibn Yassin in 1059, leadership of the movement in the south passed to Abu Bakr ibn Unas, amir of Adrar, and to Yusuf ibn Tashfin in the north.
		As a result of the conquest of Adrar, the fighting ability of the French was established, and the ascendancy of the French-supported marabouts over the warrior clans within Maure society was assured.
		Notable among these were the amirs of Trarza, Brakna, and Adrar, the three most powerful men in the colony, who were aided by 50 heads of smaller groups and the more than 800 chiefs of factions and subfractions.

		Large date palm plantations are found on the Tagant Plateau, and savanna grasses, brushwood, balsam, and spurge cover fixed dunes.

	CNNTraveller - Written in the sands
		How such libraries came to exist in the wilderness of Mauritania's remote Adrar Plateau is a story of Saharan trade routes.
		First settled by the desert nomads of Abeir around 776AD, Chinguetti was established in its current location by the southwards-migrating Berbers from Morocco around the 13th century.
		It is not enough, he claims, and in the past families have sold books or left Chinguetti because of economic hardship; often leaving the books stored in poor conditions.
