Medeldra is a region in western Mauritania, located on the country's border with Western Sahara. As an administrative division, its capital city, the eponymous Medeldra, is situated on the edge of the Sahara Desert, with a typical arid desert climate, sparsely populated and characterized by a nomadic and semi-nomadic way of life.
The region's terrain is predominantly desert and semi-desert, and the economy is based on traditional animal husbandry (e.g., camel and goat farming) and limited oasis agriculture. In recent years, the exploration of mining resources (e.g., iron ore and copper) has emerged as a potential economic pillar, but poor infrastructure has constrained development.
The inhabitants of Medeldra are mostly Moors and retain a strong Arab-Berber cultural tradition, with Islam as the predominant faith. In terms of transportation, there are only a few roads connecting the capital city of Nouakchott to neighboring countries, making it a remote but strategically important border region in Mauritania.
