Maghama is a town in southwestern Mauritania, part of the Gorgol region, situated on the right bank of the Senegal River, on the border between Mauritania and Senegal. As one of the most important settlements in the region, Maghama is known for its agricultural activities along the river, where the local population relies on irrigation to grow millet, vegetables and other crops, making it one of the few green agricultural areas in Mauritania.
