Landmines
Unexploded landmines are an ongoing risk in Western Sahara. This risk is higher within 30km of the Berm, but also closer inland.
To protect yourself against landmines:
- don’t travel to areas within 30km of the northern or western side of the Berm
- don’t travel south or east of the Berm
If, despite our advice, you travel to these areas, seek professional security advice and stick to formed roads and paths in any areas where landmines are a risk.
