Western Sahara has no railways, with the exception of a 5km section of the Mauritania Railway; which (since the closure of the Choum Tunnel), cuts across the extreme south-eastern corner of the territory. There are only 6,200 km of roads, of which 1,350 km are metalled.
Ports include Ad Dakhla, Cabo Bojador, Laayoune (El Aaiun).
The longest conveyor belt in the world is 100 km long, from the phosphate mines of Bu Craa to the coast south of Laayoune.
There are 11 airfields, 3 with paved runways, and one helipad.
