Ben Amera, Mauritania
Ben Amera is the world’s third largest monolith behind Mount Augustus and Uluru, both in Australia. It is located in Mauritania, close to the border with Western Sahara.
The Ben Amera is probably Mauritania’s best kept secret, as it is the second largest monolith in the world. The famous Ayers Rock is the only one bigger. There are some other monoliths nearby, like the Aicha monolith. Ben Amera is one of the best attractions on the route for the desert train between Nouadhibou and Zouerate.
