Tipping
Not expected, but can leave extra tip
Tipping is usually not expected in Mauritania. However, if you are satisfied with the service provided you can show your appreciation by leaving a small ‘extra’ tip. Receipts might sometimes include a service charge. If there is a service charge there is no need to tip.
