Capital status
National capital of Mauritania
Nouakchott is the capital and largest city of Mauritania, with a population estimated at well over 1 million, concentrating a large share of the country's people in a single urban centre. It observes Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) year-round with no daylight saving. Located on the Atlantic coast at the edge of the Sahara Desert, Nouakchott is one of the largest cities in the Sahara and one of the youngest national capitals, having been developed almost from scratch around a small settlement when Mauritania prepared for independence in 1960. The city has grown rapidly, partly driven by drought and desertification pushing rural populations toward the coast. Nouakchott serves as the political, administrative, and economic heart of Mauritania and is home to its main port.
