How to Travel from Mauritania to Albania: Flight Routes
Traveling from Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International Airport (NKC) to Tirana (TIA) typically involves a connection through a major international hub. The most convenient and popular route for Mauritanian citizens is flying via Istanbul (IST) with Turkish Airlines, which offers reliable connectivity and a smooth transit into the heart of the Balkans.
Other reliable options include flying with Royal Air Maroc through Casablanca (CMN) or Air France via Paris (CDG). These routes provide multiple weekly departures, making it simple to plan your journey from the Maghreb to the Mediterranean.

Currency and Financial Tips: Ouguiya to Albanian Lek
While you are accustomed to the Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU), you will be using the Albanian Lek (ALL) during your stay. It is important to note that while card payments are common in Tirana’s city center, Albania remains a cash-oriented society in coastal villages, local markets, and rural guesthouses.
We strongly suggest carrying Euros to exchange upon your arrival, as they are the most widely recognized and easily traded foreign currency in Albania. To learn more about secure payment handling and financial tips, please visit our Payment Guidelines page.
