You can also go to the French-Mauritanian Cultural Center to watch some films, concerts and exhibitions, or to the Olympic Stadium to watch a football match.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Shopping and purchasing tourist souvenirs</strong> </h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2017/%D9%86%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%83%D8%B4%D9%88%D8%B7%20%D8%A8%D8%AD%D8%B1.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 600px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Traditional Mauritanian handicrafts are available in hotels, museums, and shops on Kennedy Street, and while silver jewelry such as bracelets and earrings are the most popular souvenirs, many like to buy carpets made of camel hair, and goods that show the nomadic lifestyle in Mauritania such as camel saddles and wooden boxes.</p>
