How about a 1000 likes for Ahmed! His guidence and support for Noraly were outstanding! A big thank you to Ahmed and to all the Nomads, for their great hospitality!
Man...Ahmed went SO FAR out of his way to OFFER to help you in the first place at all....let alone coming 4 hours to help you, then DAYS escorting you across the desert many hundreds of miles over many regions, introducing you to locals, helping you navigate, and then calling ahead to the hotels...then continuing again for multiple more days, giving rides to nomads, helping you find what you needed, giving you water and food, showing you camping spots, etc....what an INCREDIBLE guy
تحية تونسيه طيبة من هولندا لشعب الموريتاني الشقيق وتحية خاصه لأخي احمد لمساعدة نورالي وهذا من طيبة وكرم العرب ❤❤❤ tunisich groetjes van uit Roermond Limburg Nederland ❤❤❤
Ahmed is not only a very good samaritan,he's also the un-official ambassador of Mauritania...A big salute & a huge thanks Ahmed for helping & guiding Noraly👏👏👏
A huge shout out to Ahmed for his guidance and support of Itchy Boots through the remote desert of Mauritania! Without him it would have been impossible to visit the Eye on Alaska. Thank you Ahmed and the friendly people of the desert for your hospitality and amazing support of Noraly. Thank you Itchy Boots for going out of your comfort zone to take us on an awesome desert adventure 😊
These Mauritania episodes are some of Noraly’s best yet. She gives us lessons on geology, history, we meet interesting people, and see sweeping views of the desert. Just wonderful.
I've learned that a lot of that history recorded in libraries in rural africa is fake. There's no way for them to prove it but that's what they're saying.
Ahmed is a tour guid savant. He is another angel brought across Noraly's journey to add value to her journey and he should be highly recommended for future tourists. He knows the desert as if it has street names...salute to you Ahmed for your support to our Noraly👏👏👏🙏🏼
Noraly's small spill in the desert sand was clearly a hidden blessing. Akmed's rescue mission turned into a fortunate outcome for Noraly to make it through those deep desert sand dunes.
Just not enough adjectives to describe how interesting and beautiful Mauritania has been. Ahmed was such a blessing to help you share such a cool place! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the videos!
Honestly, I marvel at how Mauritanians manage to survive in that setting. What a lot of kind and generous people. I hope Mr. Ahmed knows how much your followers appreciate his efforts. What an excellent ambassador he is for his country and for his people. Salam alaikum to him!! Safe travels Noraly!
Ahmed. An absolute gem. The Moroccans and Mauritanians seem such kind and gentle folk! It's a great pity the Paris - Dakar rally doesn't run that way anymore, both countries are well deserving of the revenue the rally brings.
Very sad that we are not going to see Ahmed again, with his flowing blue robe and all the care he was giving to Noraly. A thousand thanks is not enough for Ahmed. A wonderful human being. God speed for his long return journey
Приветствую! Простите , для, Noraly. Здравствуйте! Здравствуйте, Noraly!💐Завершено ещё одно приключение и на одном дыхании... на одном, трудно, очень трудно, тяжело..,.камень, пески, температура и удержать, удержать /Аляску/ и как девушка лишенная благ, но Вы сделали это, показано и рассказано, коротко, но о многом...поезд...,люди..., быт...,Антлантида... удивительная, загадочная...И, нужно, нужно передохнуть... восстановиться...Спасибо... и пусть простит вселенная, крепко обнимаю..до встречи...
Yes, I've been to Mauritania. I travelled on Noraly's bike. Ahmed guided us through the Mauritanian desert. I learned a lot about geology, sand and rocks history, Africa's Eye, manuscripts, the libraries in Chingueti and what not!!! Thank your Itchy Boots!!!!!
Ahmed has shown us so much about the culture, history, desert of Mauritania and so little is really seen in the media to show us the beauty of the life and country. I cant believe how stunningly amazing this all is. It just shows also the class, kindness, respect and its a great reflection on you all. Thank you Ahmed and the lovely people.
You meet the nicest people when travelling on a motorbike … and Ahmed is the proof of that! What a legend he has been 😊 I think between you and him, you have done more for the Mauritanian tourist industry than anyone before you 😊
Noraly, your ability to connect with people is a blessing to them and you. Ahmed seems to be a treasure who found you in Mauritania. One of the best things I find in your channel is the confirmation that people across the world are much the same. Mostly helpful and friendly. That is not the message we receive from most sources. You open our eyes to a world that is so much different than what we are conditioned to believe. Archaeologic, geologic, historic, and cultural treasures are always on the menu. Thank you.
كل الحب و التقدير من تونس لأخي أحمد و لكل الشعب الموريطاني الطيب....عشنا تجربة رائعة و اكتشفنا جمال هذا البلد....اتمني لك التوفيق و النجاح و كل الحب و الإحترام من تونس ❤️🇹🇳❤️
Ahmed is a great man. You could not have done that part of the journey without his support. Thank you for taking us with you. There is so much that we have not seen of the world and we are grateful. Safe travels.
Thank you Ahmed for helping Noraly achieve her dream and protecting her on this journey to the Eye of the Sahara. May God continue to be with her as she continues on her own. Noraly, you are the best!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
At the end of the video when Noraly said "i hope that you liked it", the answer is we love it :).Travel safe, thanks Ahmed in the name of all of us.God bless you.
Noraly continues to dazzle us with extraordinary desert scenes packed with rugged beauty, amazing people, food, culture, ancient geology, areas of archeological note, and just pure adventure all the way. I am just so grateful for the Itchy Boots channel and all the work Noraly does to show us the world through her eyes. Extraordinary. Absolutely extraordinary.
Noraly , you are in the wrong century , I could see you riding off into the desert with your camels , you are an explorer at heart and people love you .
What an absolute treasure you had in Ahmed.......Thank you for the journey through the desert.....I had no knowledge of the desert ..the people or the way of life. What an education.
I always grin at the end of Noraly's videos when she says "I hope you like my video..." As a subscriber, I like them all. There aren't any boring or dull videos. I think she could talk about dish soap, and would still be interesting.
Morocco and Mauritania have been phenomenal. I really think these have been some of the best episodes ever. The assistance of Ahmed has been invaluable. A true gem of a man. The books in the library were very interesting due to the extreme age of them. You wouldn't expect to see something like that in a small desert town like that.
DURING THE GOLDEN AGE OF ISLAM, EVERY OASIS TOWN IN THE SAHARA DESERT USED TO HAVE GREAT MOSQUE, GREAT LIBRARY, SCHOOLS, AND GREAT BAZAAR WHERE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER AFRICA WILL GO TO STUDY AND TO DO BUSINESS. BUT AFTER COLONIAL ERA IT WAS ALL ABANDONED.
Yes, he was definitely a good guide for Noraly! perfect with his escort Hilux and carry all the extra fuel and the heavy luggage. Also as "door-opener" at the tents of nomads and in the villages and small towns in Mauritania 👏👏
Who would have thought that shopping for a comb could be so entertaining! HaHa.... The library was quite interesting. I suppose the dryness of the desert has helped in the preservation of the old books. Good plan to get Alaska checked out considering all that you have been through. Ahmed was a good travel companion though the desert and a great help so that you could do the desert route. Wonderful episodes.
Throughout your journeys you've not only greatly entertained us but also you put us abreast of the realities of the places you visited. Personally I am happy that you followed your instincts and took Ahmad to be your guide, frankly speaking, the desert is definitely an unforgiving land and here who could be any better than a true and knowledgeable gentleman as Ahmad to guide you through. I feel a tinge of sadness that you have to part now with him, but maybe if you could give Ahmad a bit of support and exposure so that he could provide the same guidance services to other travelers as well, not only could this be a life-saver for them but will also help Ahmad who is indeed an encyclopedic bank of knowledge of the land.
Exactly, I Hope Ahmed Can make a youtube Channel to share his knowledge and also his services as a guide to those who would like to visit Mauritania. Many thanks to Noraly and Ahmed from Morocco.
🎉Well done Ahmed you show the world how honest and brave and genres are Arab and Muslim people. many thanks for noraly and wishing you to complete your journey safely 🚴♀️🐪🦂🏍️🚐🌏🏕️
Ahmed!! You will be missed!! All the way from California! Thank you, Ahmed for helping to guide, pack, carry, load, navigate and communicate!! As well to all others along the way! GO, NORALY!
Thank you, Nurali, for these wonderful episodes, and thank you, Ahmed, for representing us as Mauritanians, and that there are four million Mauritanians like Ahmed. The kindness of heart, generosity, and courage of all Mauritanians’ sincerity in education are based on these qualities, and it is something that is deeply rooted in us as Arabs, Muslims, and Mauritanians. Return safely to your homeland and tell your story to people so that a negative picture of us as Arabs can be projected. Thank you, Nurali, we love you and wish you happiness and health and that you come back to us again
Gosh, I will miss Ahmed and the nomadic people. You and Ahmed are a great team, and he is a wonderful person. Your journey with him through the desert was simply amazing. Thank you for taking us with you - I learned so much!❤
The two most iconic words on the Itchy Boots channel. "Let's GO!" I would have never thought it would be fun to go comb shopping with Noraly, but it was! Every traveler knows the disappointment of forgetting something behind. The library was amazing! Many thanks to Ahmed for taking care of Noraly. Thanks Noraly! You made my Friday for me!
Well done Ahmed for helping & caring for Noraly. Looking at all those lovely people they met I wonder if our commercial lives are really better than theirs. I love how Noraly remains so calm during the times that are difficult & also how she never uses any sort of bad language.
Ahmed, I hope you read this. Thank you so much for taking great care of our friend Noraly. You are a fine gentleman indeed. Much respect to you, may you continue to live a long and happy life. Norman from England UK.
Noraly ,this series in Mauritania has been eye opening and exciting, not to mention a great learning experience. And with the help of Ahmed, whom I think is an amazing person, you were able to have a unique adventure. The ancient library, I’m sure holds many secrets and is a place that most people would never have the opportunity to see. Thanks for sharing Mauritania with us . Cheers and stay safe, Dan. ✌️🇨🇦
We will miss Ahmed. It was indeed something different seeing you with escort. But that's the beauty of your vlogs, you manage to add something new. God bless you.
Good day folks, we say goodbye to Achmed and the beautiful people of Mauritania, thank you all, especially Achmed to guide Noraly through the Sahara, and make her traveling much easier, and a big thanks to Noraly too, to make it possible to a lot of us, to see places which we're only dream of, from all of us, traveling mercies. God bless ❤
Now Noraly has crossed the Sahara... she is definitely a "Queen"! How lucky I met an expert guide, Ahmed doesn't need GPS, he seems to know every single grain of sand of his Sahara!😂👍👍👍
My grandfather was a farmer who grew up at the end of the 19th century, and almost never left his small village in Morocco ... However he had in his small property a big personal library of such books and manuscripts as shown in this video (may be at least one hundred books), we still got most of them but split between many cousins ...
Many families in the souss region have some very old manuscripts, i think researcher should go to souss and scan as many as possible there may be some lost translated greek texts in there
That Ahmed knows his way around this vast land must be a story in itself. What an amazing guide & kindred spirit to see you all the way through this adventure! As always, it is time to move on to the next vistas & wonders of the world, solo as you prefer. THANK YOU for beautifully sharing this amazing time.
With the blue bracelet you'll be reminded of your adventure with the legend in blue Ahmed. That was a fun journey to see the Eye of the Sahara and all the interesting stops along the way. EDIT: I just read an article on BBC about Mauritania and there was a photo of the gentlemen in the library with the original WhatsApp text/books. Small world.
I wish I could give this 2000 likes...Norlay is a goddess. Thank you for making me eat my words when I said "Africa? Really?" So far it has been an AMAZING journey. So, so cool.
I’m surprised the books have survived in that heat. Very beautiful village. Ahmed was a wonderful travel guide. I’m always happy to see your videos pop up, and then sad when they end.
I was going to say that Ahmed is the finest drop of water in the oasis, then I changed my mind and thought: he is jewel in the eye of the Sahara. Actually, he is both, and more. What a a lovely guy and what a great ambassador for Mauritania! Salaam Aleikum, Ahmed! Peace be with you. I hope you get to see this and all the comments praising you everywhere in these comments.
I hope that we will hear from Ahmed in the near future.... What an amazing human being........ I wish him well on his journey and may God bless his beautiful soul.... Rest Well Noraly..... be safe, stay safe and safe travelings .... 🙌💯🇿🇦
Noraly, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: great people attract great people. Ahmed, thank you for guiding and assisting our ace adventurer! Noraly, rest well! God knows you’ve earned a respite. 🤗👍
The videos keep coming so fast. No complains. The quality is great. The shots are fantastic. The landscape and people are wonderful. Ahmed is a great guy. Many thanks to him. And many thanks to Noraly.
Ahmed's help was invaluable. If you had carried the weight of water, fuel, and gear, you might have bogged down in sand or shredded your tires on the long, rocky stretch. He introduced you to local nomads, including the man with the tent full of artifacts, and guided you through "The Eye". Thank you for introducing us to the Sahara.
I was wondering if the libraries have had their wonderful pages digitized. It would be a shame to lose such treasures to the sands of time. Thanks Noraly for sharing!
Wow! Just imagine the wealth of knowledge and history contained in those ancient texts. Loved the secret wooden locking mechanism, which still needs a regular lock 🔐 😂 Ahmed was a delightful guide and kind companion, clearly the epitome of Mauritanian hospitality. Hopefully he'll reap many tour guiding rewards in future for having kept you safe and secure, ... and free of poisonous scorpion bites!
I don't think I'll ever look at WhatsApp the same way again. Countless gems in your videos along with great narration, emotions, and photography. Can't thank you enough. Safe travels.
🤣😂Armchair world travelers! Oh, not all. Wonderful inspiration for me to start again with an Adventure motorbike. But not such routes like Noraly.... No thanks! 😜
Noraly, these were the most stunning videos you made in the sand of Mauritania. Achmed was a wonderful companion, what a guide and what a way to travel "light" on Alaska. And the video shots with the car in the background are so dynamic an epic on screen! Following you for a very long time now, but these episodes in the Sahara are on top of my favorites!
I’ve watched multiple times of the past episodes just to digest as much as possible. They are truly truly amazing. The journey, hospitality is just beyond words. BEAUTIFUL. Thank you noraly!!!
Goodbye Ahmed of the desert .. he was a class act .. with that beautiful blue cape he floated about effortlessly in. He added to the whole spirit of the desert. Thank you, Noraly, for taking time to talk to us at the end of your brilliant video. Happy Easter and rest well!
Good morning beautiful internet family! Thanks for another wonderful adventure video Itchy Boots! Much love to everyone and their families from Quartzsite Az USA currently 🤠💪🙏🏵️🤠
Wow that was an epic ride - thanks Ahmed for being there for Noraly as a friend, guide, translator, networker … Goodbye - stay safe and see ya in a few days Noraly
Ahmed was the true hero of the Mauritanian tour, going through those rocky mounts even in a 4x4 demands lot of talent determination and courage that deserve a big thumbs up ... Thanks for helping Noraly show us that amazing Eye of Sahara ... Keep it up Noraly.
A sleepy but pensive Noraly telling us of her day and days to come. What a fabulous intro to the people and places of Mauritania - a revelation to me. Goodbye to Ahmed who is an advert for the best of human kind.
The red/orange bike and rust colored jacket are such great desert colors. 🙂 Ahmed was the perfect travel companion to fill the need for that part of the journey. The whole segment was fascinating in its human and geologic history...and relaxing for us because we felt your travel safety was secure. And, now, on with solo travel - and both you and Alaska taking a well deserved R&R. Hooray!
Just loved, loved this episode. You give us such a grand birds eye view of our incredibly beautiful planet and it's amazing inhabitants. Thank you Noraly. Take care and safe travels.
How about a 1000 likes for Ahmed! His guidence and support for Noraly were outstanding! A big thank you to Ahmed and to all the Nomads, for their great hospitality!
@Romani1957 Yes, perfect!
She with Ahmed has found a true guardian angel who accompanies her in the desert ! 👍
Good decision to go to Senegal and you should contact omar alaomair because he was there and he is an adventure ( omar adv)
Yes!
You dream small.. 😅 It's 12 K already!
Man...Ahmed went SO FAR out of his way to OFFER to help you in the first place at all....let alone coming 4 hours to help you, then DAYS escorting you across the desert many hundreds of miles over many regions, introducing you to locals, helping you navigate, and then calling ahead to the hotels...then continuing again for multiple more days, giving rides to nomads, helping you find what you needed, giving you water and food, showing you camping spots, etc....what an INCREDIBLE guy

Wonderful episode!
I love Ahmed's blue cape with the moons & 🌟!
What a Gentleman and a Legend Ahmed is and such a great Ambassador for his beautiful Country of Mauritania 🇲🇷
Not all heroes wear capes…they wear daraa’s 👊🏼 Much respect and thanks to Ahmed for guiding you through the desert!
@@harrycolon5301 he's a legend
I was just going to look up the name of the robe he was wearing! So gorgeous.
Haha how do you know the name of the dress. Yes it is الدراعة
Or Dara'a
Ahmed is not only a very good samaritan,he's also the un-official ambassador of Mauritania...A big salute & a huge thanks Ahmed for helping & guiding Noraly👏👏👏
He only did it for the money
Thanks from the Netherlands to Ahmed for being Noraly's guide, guard, chef cook, gas pump operator, interpreter, transport company ,
Idd, blij dat ze deze rit met Achmet kon maken. Iedereen heeft enorm van genoten
Tanks Ahmed.☺️🇧🇷
And from East Sussex, many thanks Ahmed

You would think desert riding like this would get very monotonous, but I agree. Every episode so far has been incredible.
I've learned that a lot of that history recorded in libraries in rural africa is fake.
There's no way for them to prove it but that's what they're saying.
The BOOKS! Fascinating
@@trishf2184 Yes they should translate for all of us.
Huge shadout and respect to Ahmed. 🙏🏾 He was a true hero on the road.
What a wonderful guide Ahmed has been. Thank you Ahmed for allowing Noraly and us to see some incredible people and places.

Ahmed. An absolute gem. The Moroccans and Mauritanians seem such kind and gentle folk!
It's a great pity the Paris - Dakar rally doesn't run that way anymore, both countries are well deserving of the revenue the rally brings.
They got their Peace back ! Priceless !
If anyone can bring the Dakar home, it's Itchy Boots.
Very sad that we are not going to see Ahmed again, with his flowing blue robe and all the care he was giving to Noraly.
A thousand thanks is not enough for Ahmed. A wonderful human being. God speed for his long return journey
Ahmad may not be the eye of the Sahara, but he sure is the star💖
Living her best life and showing 99.9% of the rest of us what we can only dream about, Thank you Noraly 🙏🏽
Absolutely true. Her adventures are the things of dreams...
❤❤❤
Bittersweet moment saying goodbye to Ahmed - truly a God send. Amazing journey through the Sahara, certainly unforgettable 👏

@@KingOfEssex Get out of your box, and explore the world, and you will have to eat your words.
Yes, I've been to Mauritania. I travelled on Noraly's bike. Ahmed guided us through the Mauritanian desert. I learned a lot about geology, sand and rocks history, Africa's Eye, manuscripts, the libraries in Chingueti and what not!!! Thank your Itchy Boots!!!!!
شكرا noraly , سفرك رائع و مثير ، رافقتك السلامة . شكر خاص للسيد أحمد الموريتاني الأصيل. تحية طيبة لكم من المغرب 🇲🇦❤

I cant believe how stunningly amazing this all is. It just shows also the class, kindness, respect and its a great reflection on you all. Thank you Ahmed and the lovely people.
Western Media, only shows the negatives of all countries, that are not on their agenda.....‼⁉️🇺🇸
Well said! It’s truly amazing that we actually know so little about the rest of the surrounding world!
You meet the nicest people when travelling on a motorbike … and Ahmed is the proof of that! What a legend he has been 😊 I think between you and him, you have done more for the Mauritanian tourist industry than anyone before you 😊
The action shots of both Ahmed and you ripping through the desert were awesome! Ahmed needs a RUclips channel now!
Yes! Agree.
No he doesn’t lol
I agree
Noraly, your ability to connect with people is a blessing to them and you. Ahmed seems to be a treasure who found you in Mauritania. One of the best things I find in your channel is the confirmation that people across the world are much the same. Mostly helpful and friendly. That is not the message we receive from most sources.

Good day folks, we say goodbye to Achmed and the beautiful people of Mauritania, thank you all, especially Achmed to guide Noraly through the Sahara, and make her traveling much easier, and a big thanks to Noraly too, to make it possible to a lot of us, to see places which we're only dream of, from all of us, traveling mercies. God bless ❤
Trust me I love your smile 😊 it's stunning
Now Noraly has crossed the Sahara... she is definitely a "Queen"! How lucky I met an expert guide, Ahmed doesn't need GPS, he seems to know every single grain of sand of his Sahara!😂👍👍👍
My grandfather was a farmer who grew up at the end of the 19th century, and almost never left his small village in Morocco ... However he had in his small property a big personal library of such books and manuscripts as shown in this video (may be at least one hundred books), we still got most of them but split between many cousins ...
Many families in the souss region have some very old manuscripts, i think researcher should go to souss and scan as many as possible there may be some lost translated greek texts in there
That Ahmed knows his way around this vast land must be a story in itself. What an amazing guide & kindred spirit to see you all the way through this adventure! As always, it is time to move on to the next vistas & wonders of the world, solo as you prefer. THANK YOU for beautifully sharing this amazing time.
Ahmed was certainly a guardian angel in disguise! Noraly your sense of wonder is always so refreshing
With the blue bracelet you'll be reminded of your adventure with the legend in blue Ahmed. That was a fun journey to see the Eye of the Sahara and all the interesting stops along the way.
EDIT: I just read an article on BBC about Mauritania and there was a photo of the gentlemen in the library with the original WhatsApp text/books. Small world.
I wish I could give this 2000 likes...Norlay is a goddess. Thank you for making me eat my words when I said "Africa? Really?" So far it has been an AMAZING journey. So, so cool.
I’m surprised the books have survived in that heat. Very beautiful village. Ahmed was a wonderful travel guide. I’m always happy to see your videos pop up, and then sad when they end.
Moisture and humidity are the enemy of old books. The desert's very dry climate preserves them well within the cooler dark library building
I was going to say that Ahmed is the finest drop of water in the oasis, then I changed my mind and thought: he is jewel in the eye of the Sahara. Actually, he is both, and more. What a a lovely guy and what a great ambassador for Mauritania! Salaam Aleikum, Ahmed! Peace be with you. I hope you get to see this and all the comments praising you everywhere in these comments.
I hope that we will hear from Ahmed in the near future.... What an amazing human being........ I wish him well on his journey and may God bless his beautiful soul....
Rest Well Noraly..... be safe, stay safe and safe travelings .... 🙌💯🇿🇦
Noraly, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: great people attract great people. Ahmed, thank you for guiding and assisting our ace adventurer! Noraly, rest well! God knows you’ve earned a respite. 🤗👍
The videos keep coming so fast. No complains. The quality is great. The shots are fantastic. The landscape and people are wonderful. Ahmed is a great guy. Many thanks to him. And many thanks to Noraly.
A good sense of humor gets you a long way.
Love the desert riding and the sights. It's an area where 99.9% of people will never experience.
The Eye of the Sahara cried with amusement at Noralys antics on a bike.Ahmed allways paveing the right way..he is an awesome man.
Those ancient books in that library are priceless. Thank you Noraly for sharing that with us.
We are going to miss Achmed.
Ahmed's help was invaluable.
If you had carried the weight of water, fuel, and gear, you might have bogged down in sand or shredded your tires on the long, rocky stretch.
He introduced you to local nomads, including the man with the tent full of artifacts, and guided you through "The Eye".
Thank you for introducing us to the Sahara.
I was wondering if the libraries have had their wonderful pages digitized. It would be a shame to lose such treasures to the sands of time. Thanks Noraly for sharing!
Rest and restore!
Thanks to all who made your journey as pleasurable as possible in such a harsh environment.
Ahmed deserves a standing ovation!
Wow! Just imagine the wealth of knowledge and history contained in those ancient texts. Loved the secret wooden locking mechanism, which still needs a regular lock 🔐 😂
Ahmed was a delightful guide and kind companion, clearly the epitome of Mauritanian hospitality. Hopefully he'll reap many tour guiding rewards in future for having kept you safe and secure, ... and free of poisonous scorpion bites!
One thing for sure. Ahmed is a Legend on his own.
I don't think I'll ever look at WhatsApp the same way again. Countless gems in your videos along with great narration, emotions, and photography. Can't thank you enough. Safe travels.
Haha. So true. Reminds me of a proverb that says there is nothing new under the sun ...(not even WhatsApp.)
Noraly, thank you thank you thank you so much for taking all of us armchair world travelers along with you! Fantastic!!!❤
🤣😂Armchair world travelers! Oh, not all. Wonderful inspiration for me to start again with an Adventure motorbike. But not such routes like Noraly.... No thanks! 😜
The key to this video is not only for our entertainment, but also for educational purposes, thanks Noraly 👍
The lost city of Atlantis and the library shows that there is much to learn of our history. You are digging gold out of sand!
Noraly, these were the most stunning videos you made in the sand of Mauritania. Achmed was a wonderful companion, what a guide and what a way to travel "light" on Alaska. And the video shots with the car in the background are so dynamic an epic on screen!
Following you for a very long time now, but these episodes in the Sahara are on top of my favorites!
Your having the time of your life Noraly and you are taking us with you ❤❤❤
I’ve watched multiple times of the past episodes just to digest as much as possible. They are truly truly amazing. The journey, hospitality is just beyond words. BEAUTIFUL. Thank you noraly!!!
Goodbye Ahmed of the desert .. he was a class act .. with that beautiful blue cape he floated about effortlessly in. He added to the whole spirit of the desert. Thank you, Noraly, for taking time to talk to us at the end of your brilliant video. Happy Easter and rest well!
Good morning beautiful internet family! Thanks for another wonderful adventure video Itchy Boots! Much love to everyone and their families from Quartzsite Az USA currently 🤠💪🙏🏵️🤠
Wow that was an epic ride - thanks Ahmed for being there for Noraly as a friend, guide, translator, networker … Goodbye - stay safe and see ya in a few days Noraly
What an epic expedition into the Eye of the Sahara !
My friend worked on a UN project in Mauritania- your videos have given me a far greater understanding of his time and ventures there. Thankyou
Ahmed was the true hero of the Mauritanian tour, going through those rocky mounts even in a 4x4 demands lot of talent determination and courage that deserve a big thumbs up ... Thanks for helping Noraly show us that amazing Eye of Sahara ... Keep it up Noraly.
A sleepy but pensive Noraly telling us of her day and days to come. What a fabulous intro to the people and places of Mauritania - a revelation to me. Goodbye to Ahmed who is an advert for the best of human kind.
The red/orange bike and rust colored jacket are such great desert colors. 🙂 Ahmed was the perfect travel companion to fill the need for that part of the journey. The whole segment was fascinating in its human and geologic history...and relaxing for us because we felt your travel safety was secure. And, now, on with solo travel - and both you and Alaska taking a well deserved R&R. Hooray!
Ahmed the local knowledge king . Definitely without him would have made this trip extremely difficult
🌞Noraly, you are one of the greatest of all time dirt bikers! 🏍🌍 Amazing.
... one of the greatest of all time overlanders!
@@super.zdravko Indeed! Noraly's skill sets are enviable. 👍
Just loved, loved this episode. You give us such a grand birds eye view of our incredibly beautiful planet and it's amazing inhabitants. Thank you Noraly. Take care and safe travels.
