What percentage of the country is that, then, that is desert? 
 It is located in the western region of Africa. Generally flat with vast, arid plains and the occasional cliff. It is roughly 1,030,700 square kilometres making it the 29th largest country, similar in size to Egypt. 
 I'm sorry, I don't have that information. The Abdallahi government that governs there is corrupt and has restricted access to much of their government related information. 
 You're welcome! 
 Sure! Would you like information on the history and politics of Mauritania?
