My husband wants to move to Mauritania to attend an Islamic University. He refuses to consider attending any in the US because he want to be submerged in the culture, he feels that would make it easier for him to learn Arabic. He’s been on tours to Iraq when he was in the military, but other than that he’s been spoiled with the middle-class American life. He thinks he’d be able to live well off of $300 USD, because that’s what his father has told him, although I’ve showed him the realistic cost of living in Mauritania.

I haven’t found much other than Mauritania has an issue with Human Trafficking (which I’m sure he wont think is a threat to him). But are there any positives or negatives to him moving there?
