El Mina is a suburb of Nouakchott and urban commune in western Mauritania. It has a population of 95,011.[1]

El Mina has a bad reputation in Mauritania. It is considered one of the poorest parts of the city and is known for its prostitution. It is mainly inhabited by the descendants of slaves.[2] The UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance visited El Mina in 2008.[3]
