Hardap, Administrative region in central Namibia.

The Hardap Region extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the eastern border, containing the Hardap Dam and vast stretches of semi-arid landscapes.

The construction of the Hardap Dam in the early 1960s transformed the region into an agricultural center, supporting local farming communities.

The region maintains strong connections to Damara heritage through traditional music performances and community gatherings in local settlements.

Eight electoral constituencies make up the region, with Mariental serving as the capital and offering essential administrative services to residents.

The Namib Desert within the region provides habitat for specialized species like the Namib dunes ant, adapted to extreme desert conditions.
