Bounty prices: henna bounty, sadaq box and large baskets

The bounty is the widest-ranging category on the platform: from 700 to 90,000 MRU, about 128 times between the lowest and the highest. And that spread is not an ordinary bounty versus a luxury one — it is three different products under one name. This guide breaks them down with figures from listings published on Umsiyeti.

The price range

From 700 to 90,000 MRU, with the middle half between 2,250 and 17,500 and a median of 5,000. The figures come from 35 listings offered by 6 shops, all in Nouakchott.

Note the distance between the median (5,000) and the upper quartile (17,500): that jump is the evidence that the category holds two distinct products rather than one in grades.

The three products under one name

The henna bounty — 700 to 5,000

The most common on the list. It is ordered for the henna night:

• 700 to 2,000: henna bounty, and mini bounty.
• 2,500 to 5,000: chocolate bounty basket, bounty croupi, large korbi, large-format henna bounty.

If a henna-night bounty is what you are after, your budget sits in this range and has nothing to do with the larger figures below.

The sadaq box — 9,000 to 40,000

This is an entirely different product, and it is what causes the jump in price:

• 9,000 to 12,000: sadaq box, bounty with sadaq box, complete box.
• 15,000 to 20,000: complete box, all-in box, bounty with sadaq box, sadaq box.
• 25,000 to 40,000: bounty with sadaq box, large sadaq box.

The large baskets — 15,000 to 35,000

Bounty baskets at 15,000, and larger baskets at 30,000 and 35,000.

And at the top: the royal bounty — 90,000

A single listing, the highest price in the whole category, far above the next one (40,000).

How to read a price

Ask first: which product is it? Because "how much does a bounty cost?" has no single answer:

• Henna bounty: plan for 700 to 5,000.
• Bounty with a sadaq box: plan for 9,000 to 40,000.
• Large basket: plan for 15,000 to 35,000.

If a seller gives you a figure without naming the product, the figure alone means nothing.

Frequently asked questions

• How much does a bounty cost? It depends on the product: henna bounty from 700, sadaq box from 9,000, large baskets from 15,000.
• Why is the median only 5,000 when the maximum is 90,000? Because most listings are small henna bounties, while sadaq boxes and large baskets are few and expensive.
• What is the most expensive listing? The royal bounty at 90,000 MRU — a single listing, with the next at 40,000.
• How many shops are available? 6 shops across 35 listings, all in Nouakchott. There are no bounty listings in Nouadhibou on the platform yet.

Before you buy

• Settle the product before the price: henna, sadaq box, or large basket.
• Ask for the contents in detail; the name alone does not describe them.
• Compare at least two shops — only six offer this category.
• Agree the delivery date before the henna night, not on the day.
