Mauritania is a large country in northwestern Africa, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean deep into the Sahara Desert. Much of its territory is arid or desert, while most of the population lives in the western and southern parts of the country.

Mauritania is divided into 15 regions, known as wilayas. Three of these regions—Nouakchott-Nord, Nouakchott-Ouest, and Nouakchott-Sud—make up the national capital, Nouakchott.

The current administrative structure reflects changes made in 2014, when the former Nouakchott region was divided into three separate regions, increasing the national total from 13 to 15. The other regions cover extensive areas of the Sahara, the Atlantic coast, and the more fertile lands near the Senegal River.

This quiz covers all 15 regions of Mauritania. Learning their locations provides a useful introduction to the country's administrative geography and the different landscapes of this large Saharan nation.
