Nouakchott is not a good place to be stranded in at night if you don't have money to pay for a camping spot in any of the auberges (ca. 1500 UM as of March 2011) or manage to convince them to let you camp there for free... the church used to let people camp in their patio but don't anymore, and the beach is not very safe. The best strategy would probably be to ask at one of the police checkpoints just out of town if you might be allowed to crash out there for just one night.
Nouakchott also has a healthy couchsurfing community who all seem to know each other
and it's quite easy to find a host there.
At the road in direction of Kiffa find Restaurant le Roi, there are very hospitable Syrian brothers. Ask people around where to find it, everybody seems to know. One of the brothers speaks English. They invited [[User:Kundrt|Kundrt]] and his friend inside, were still feeding them and let them sleep there - all for free (they didn't want to accept any money).
