    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

    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.

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.

    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!

    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!

    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!
