The West Saharan side is a completely vacuum, the only built area being the ruins of Lagouira. According to Wikipedia:
>By 2002, it had been abandoned and partially overblown by sand, inhabited only by a few Imraguen fishermen[4][5] and guarded by a Mauritanian military outpost, despite this not being Mauritanian territory.[5]
>the western side is currently policed by Mauritania, as neither Morocco nor the Polisario Front occupies the area.
