Nouakchott-Sud (lit. 'South Nouakchott', Arabic: نواكشوط الجنوبية, romanized: Nuwākshūṭ al-Janūbīyah) is a region in Mauritania. It comprises the three southern departments of Mauritania's capital city Nouakchott: Arafat, El Mina and Riyad. Its headquarters (HQ) are at Arafat and Nouakchott's deep-water port is located within its borders.
