I literally just arrived to Mauritania from the USA and am astonished with the relaxed atmosphere. Family plays a huge role and neighbors, teachers, coaches are all ready to help. It's been a relief and a fresh breath of air for us. We feel not only welcome but at peace here.
Hey Gano! New subscriber here! I just came across this video, and as someone who’s half Gambian and half Mauritanian, I found it especially meaningful. Thank you so much for sharing! Mauritania is such a beautiful, peaceful country, and the hospitality there is truly remarkable.
@@caleb_9686 bullshit no Arabs sold other Arabs and they wouldn't allow it they have banned slavery numerous occasions why can't they get it right Senegal almost went to war over it they had a military purge of the blacks and various human rights groups in that country protesting the treatment of blacks in that country.
Mauritania has a very ancient vibe you know. It felt like you shot the video in the 80s.. must be very exciting. Keep going bro and I can’t wait to see you reach your 100th country like your friend.
There is a lot of racism in Muritania, The first time I met a Mauritanian was in New York City and he was part of the political fighters for freedom for Black people. He mentioned things that was profound to me. He said that there was slaves in present day, modern Mauritania, and these slaves happen to be black Africans I feel that’s a shame. I feel that has to change. I feel that africans have to wake up in general and unite. I just feel like more needs to be done.
I’m a Mauritanian and we used to hear this arguments from people in one sepesific political group to,they use these arguments for political reasons.bro don’t believe in anything without evidence,come to Mauritania and judge by yourself❤
@@binaryworld4000 That is why only stupid black people join Islam, we should tell them that is the root of African slavery till now these Arabs hate Africans and treat them and non human beings. We should boycott halal businesses, halal meats etc. Shop wisely even if it means going without certain things so be it. Also too much fabric false hair pieces and cosmetics from people who hate us. We are building their economy to continue suppression of blacks.
I spent 6 years in Mauritania 🇲🇷 it’s a awesome place to live in I can’t wait to visit again some of my memories places there I love that country so much
I'm Berber and love the people of West Africa. Because I was born and raised in the west I always felt like I was missing something. When I visited Senegal and The Gambia I felt nostalgia for things that never happened. There were Mauritanians there too and all were very kind and treated me like family. I'm sorry that some Berbers treated you bad, I had no idea the term berber was used in Gambia for someone who was cruel.
French colonialists created this perception of berbers and associate with barbarism because they fought against them, but the truth are otherwise, a nice people Mauritania.
Thank you bro for taking us inside another country of ours. We prefer to discover our African continent through the lenses of our own fellow Africans. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.🙌🩷
Greetings from the US, You are so intelligent and your video is so well-produced. It's good to see Africa from the point of view of an African. It's true, I kept encountering only coverage of Africa as poor and struggling. I didn't know there was anything different. Then I happened on some other things, including this video. The people in Mauritania seem peaceful and intelligent. From the internet I've learned that there are good people everywhere as well as a few other people.
Watched this doco 2 times. I clearly see the content difference between the normal and Western point of view about Africa (not first time but at this time I confirm my hypothesis) . I watched a story of the same city, Nouakchott shot in 1 or 2 years apart. The white guy showed a very poor town where people are struggling to survive. Here I see a thriving city with considerable modern experience and charm. Guys, we are not that poor. I will never understand why anything connected to Africa is made to look poor and hopeless. Keep it up Mauritania, you are doing so good.
Yes! Excellent point. A Nigerian pharmacist once told me that Westerners video the poor elements ONLY to continue the notion of Africa being incapable, under educated, backwards always to need help ....................when in actuality the cities and most areas are very modern, well-educated and Prosperous. Of course, every culture has its differences but basically Africa in its entirety is NOT impoverished nor living in the past....................
Maybe because 80% of the population is hungry ... Look at the GDP of these regions of the world before you want to put a positive vision in it. This is not a representation! It is the reality. If the Africans provide you with a clean and rich vision of their countries that’s fine! but what is the reality? the hope is there we all agree, their education and culture are a model... but economically it is not the golden coast ... you must remain lucid and do not put glitter everywhere either
The best Mauritanian video, l have ever watched, love the honest narrative/perspective ot their society, the beautiful scenery and country side, and your simplicity, best wishes from Nigeria!
الاحياء الفقيرة ليست مخصصة للسود بل هناك نفس النسبة من الفقراء البيض لان موريتانيا بلد اغلب شعبه فقراء والاحياء الخاصة بالسود هم من خصصوها لأنفسهم تجمعوا فيها بإرادتهم
I appreciate the such interesting video with just right sound tracks along with the best sceneries!! It feels like I 've just traveled along with you man!
nice video :)) haven’t seen many african youtubers make content like this so i rlly enjoyed this!! i’m from nigeria but you’re the first person i’ve ever heard saying they’re from gambia lol
This was really nice to see. I've been to many African countries but not Mauretania. Only saw it while flying over it on the way to Gambia/ Senegal. And I always wondered, HOW do people live there? From the sky you see only desert, and Nouakchott.
I'm part Mauritanian due to my grandma who ran away (illegally migrated) to Nigeria. My dad who is half Mauritanian always hid he's identity about it, finally finding out now im 19 😅😅 So im slowly learning about my grandmas home ❤
I love that its natural resource is being developed by their own country and hopefully to not only benefit the rich and powerful, but the regular citizens.
the desert* culture in ancient times from the canaries to Iran including horn Africa the cultures was very similar even our tongue we can pronounce the same words
this was great! thank you. great job. loved your welcoming , wondering, and fresh, positive vibe you project for your viewers in your travel video. keep it up. and it is so good to see Africa through the eyes of a Black African!
I would love to visit Mauritania, maybe not the iron ore part (I'm in my 60's) but the chill vibe good food and rich history fascinates me, I would also want to go to the Richat Structure.
My first time watching one of your videos, and so far, I love it! I feel immersed in your journey through Mauritania and I really like both the video, and Mauritania's interesting vibe, culture!
So glad RUclips recommended this video to me. I love your narration style and the cinematography is great and really shows the beauty of this country. I have subscribed and look forward to more of your travels.
This travel video is just amazing. Thank you for highlighting our coutry and diversity. Everyone who respect others and is not limited by a certain mentality is welcome in Mauritania. God bless you man!
That s very interesting! The landscape is soo beautiful! I did not expect Mauretania beeing like this.Thank you for showing us! Greetings from Germany 👋🥳
Thank you RUclips for recommending me this channel! I just subscribed because I do not see many travel bloggers who show such diverse and in-depth videos on the nations of Africa.
I love your vids👊🏽 Just one observation, the writings that pops up are quite small for someone to read. Please do consider enlarging the writings a bit next time. Overall, I love what you do bruh, keep it up🤝
My grandfather came from Boutilimitt and settled in Gambia just like many other Mauritanian Arabs. By tradition they are Normands therefore always in search for a better farming land and trading area which Gambia offers. Many of them originated from Saudi Arabia and Ardu Sham (the vast region of Palestine, Israel, Jordan etc) this is why they speak the Arabic that is almost exactly like the Quranic Arab.
Very informative video. Thanks for referencing the other videos. I watched them too and felt, that they seemed to focus on what the outside world would see as negative. It was great to get your and the local perspective. It definitely shed light on some of their practices... and cautions :) Thanks also for highlighting the historical significance of Mauritania to Islamic scholarship.
people need to understand that even in Africa Black individuals in societies with non Black individuals will be specifically made to be lower on the economic totem pole. There is no reason why the Harthani are poorer than the Bidani
So you mean all societies, even ones untouched by western colonialism such as in east Asia, favour lighter skin as it implies less time working outside, and are racist, and that racism is part of human nature, and also that slavery and racism is worse in countries other than the west? Who knew !
@@spiralsausage xenophobia might be inherent to human brains, but racism specifically based on physical features is learned. it was created by the spanish and portuguese empires to continue justifying slavery as their beliefs up until then prohibited them from enslaving fellow christians. everywhere else learned it from european empires. parts of asia where skin shade is seen a marker of class existed before, but it's not racism in that case
This is such a beautiful video that is loyal to the mauritanian cultural, I was skeptical at first about how you would represent our country but this is beautiful and truthful !!! Barak'Allah fik
The energy is very positive and natural its beautiful, social media and continuous unnecesary advancement of tech has disturbed the natural balance of humanity!
Hey man! Loved the video, really genuine and honest take on Mauritania, especially the iron ore train. A lot of youtubers trying to overplay it to get more views!
What an intriguing adventure! Spending 10 days in Africa’s ‘strangest’ country sounds like an unforgettable journey into the unique and unexpected. Thank you for shedding light on the beauty, mystery, and culture of such a fascinating destination-it’s truly inspiring for curious travelers!
Mauritania is one of the least visited countries in Africa. Why? 1.) Outside of Africa it’s questionable that people know it even exist. 2.) If people do know of it, they know it through media stories of modern day slavery 3.) underdevelopment & poor infrastructure 4.) Many western countries label it as an unsafe destination. 5.) language. Unless you speak one of the national languages, Hassaniya, Soninke, Pulaar, Wolof ect or possible French, it may be quite challenging for you to visit. These are possible reasons for why it’s amongst the least visited countries in Africa.
Thank you for this, it's fascinating seeing your travels but also how you touch on the background of each country - all things cultural, historical and political. You mix the entertainment aspect of media with education and intelligence so easily.
Am a new subscriber and loved all the information you given in this video...what I loved the most was the Women Divorced Market...change is coming...10 years ago I joined to stop the force feeding of little girls to become fat...it's a crime against children to do that...peace, love and light from far away in Puerto Rico USA
Thank you so much for this. I spent two years living in Nouakchott and also traveled to many other parts of the country, including Terjit and Chinguetti. I even have a picture in Chinguetti of the same man, a librarian of the manuscripts, who was there when I met him in 2003. All in all, and excellent video. I am happy to have discovered it.
10 minutes into the video I saw myself smiling like a fool😂😂 even Gano wanted to smile more but the steeze was like bro we can't do that here😅. Many thanks bro this was a master piece.
I am a 74yo Australian and am so pleased I found your video. I had just finished a vid by an American on Ethiopia and Shawel(?) area. I was so bored I spent more time reading the comments and found he had so much wrong. Of course, he was looking through his ill-informed western eyes, so natch. Half the vid was about a US poet who lived there for a time. ZZZZZZ. 😂 But your vid was amazing and covered so much area and information, although I agree with comment that said you didn’t show any poor areas for balance. Very funny that you got bored on the train, but the scenery brought back memories of my journey to far S.E. of Morocco which I had loved. It’s so refreshing to watch vid on African country by an African, not by an outsider. And to be in their homes and see the food prepared, and listen to the people from different areas just talk, not be interviewed. Your headings, editing and, especially, your subtitles were spot on. As your followers have said, keep up the good work. I have subscribed and hope to see many more of your travels.
Bro you haven't visited the disadvantaged neighborhoods where most of black populations live, including your gambian brothers, and which show the other side of Mauritania. This video just shows the tourist aspects and more the moorish culture.
@@Frkc956 the truth is majority of the black Africans in Mauritania are oppressed many face oppression from a small minority non-Black people. It’s a damn shame. Meaning many of the Blacks there have become like house slaves; mentally enslaved.
It’s not every day negativity. Sometimes uplifting content is good. You can go watch all the other content showing disadvantaged neighbourhoods. That content is everywhere
Great video, glad I found this channel! I didn't know anything about the divorce customs, the various Mauritanian ethic groups, the Berber migration, etc.
Also in Algeria ATMs don’t accept international cards, and mostly, people deal in cash rather than cards in general, so you seldom find a shop accepts cards, yet the country is truly lovely and for sure to give more and more visits along other African countries 🇩🇿 ❤
Hmmmmmm......that's the global blue print and trend. Don't know where it came from, what the root of it is. It's sick and twisted and cruel but Blk people haven't figured out how to address it and resolve it so it continues and it will continue possibly till melanated or heavily melanated people are extinct. All organic humans will eventually be extinct of all colors on the spectrum humans are dumb downed controlled manipulated weakened programmed conditioned and dna and genetics re-engineered and tinkered and tampered with.😮
This is so interesting and beautiful. My favorite part was the train ride views and good company. Remember when Bald and Bankrupt rode the train w/ that Belorussian girl that used to travel with him? That was hilarious too😂 that train must bring out everyone’s inner comedian.
Loved your video! Mauritania is somewhere I hope I can travel to one day! Your positive attitude and openness to this country was really inspiring and amazing to see!

Thank you for this video. It was fascinating! New subscriber!
Beautiful country Mauritania ❤
Nothing strange. It's a wonderful country. I like it very much. Much love from NW India 🇮🇳
Am a new subscriber and loved all the information you given in this video...what I loved the most was the Women Divorced Market...change is coming...10 years ago I joined to stop the force feeding of little girls to become fat...it's a crime against children to do that...peace, love and light from far away in Puerto Rico USA
Amazing video and lots of details with respect rules of the country. (Masha Allah) . Well done and keep going. May Allah bless you.
Thanks a lot
First to comment let's support our gambian travelling brother pin this comment gano
why should he pin it if i may ask?
@@frenatfarms ikr 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much for this. I spent two years living in Nouakchott and also traveled to many other parts of the country, including Terjit and Chinguetti. I even have a picture in Chinguetti of the same man, a librarian of the manuscripts, who was there when I met him in 2003.
All in all, and excellent video. I am happy to have discovered it.
Mashallah 🙏 bro you are doing a great job ❤❤
Thanks a ton
Wow!! So this is Africa. Your video is a great supplement to Zeinab Badawi's series. I actually prefer yours for sharing with my high school students.
10 minutes into the video I saw myself smiling like a fool😂😂 even Gano wanted to smile more but the steeze was like bro we can't do that here😅. Many thanks bro this was a master piece.
Glad you enjoyed😆
I am a 74yo Australian and am so pleased I found your video. I had just finished a vid by an American on Ethiopia and Shawel(?) area. I was so bored I spent more time reading the comments and found he had so much wrong. Of course, he was looking through his ill-informed western eyes, so natch. Half the vid was about a US poet who lived there for a time. ZZZZZZ. 😂 But your vid was amazing and covered so much area and information, although I agree with comment that said you didn’t show any poor areas for balance. Very funny that you got bored on the train, but the scenery brought back memories of my journey to far S.E. of Morocco which I had loved. It’s so refreshing to watch vid on African country by an African, not by an outsider. And to be in their homes and see the food prepared, and listen to the people from different areas just talk, not be interviewed. Your headings, editing and, especially, your subtitles were spot on. As your followers have said, keep up the good work. I have subscribed and hope to see many more of your travels.
Thank you so much! Welcome aboard
Amazing work bro
شكرا لهذه الجميلة مرحب بك دائما❤
Bro you haven't visited the disadvantaged neighborhoods where most of black populations live, including your gambian brothers, and which show the other side of Mauritania. This video just shows the tourist aspects and more the moorish culture.
@@Frkc956 the truth is majority of the black Africans in Mauritania are oppressed many face oppression from a small minority non-Black people. It’s a damn shame.
Meaning many of the Blacks there have become like house slaves; mentally enslaved.
It’s not every day negativity. Sometimes uplifting content is good. You can go watch all the other content showing disadvantaged neighbourhoods. That content is everywhere
sweetie Mauritania is amazigh not bantu.. relax we are AFROASIATIC e1b1b we have no relation to you
No relation is a big stretch lol
@@JimmyP-k9b outside of slavery and invasions from bantus? NO stop erasing our brown ethnic groups for your black supremacy
Great video, glad I found this channel! I didn't know anything about the divorce customs, the various Mauritanian ethic groups, the Berber migration, etc.
Usually only watch these videos partially but thoroughly enjoyed yours!!! Allahumabarik
Glad you like it!
Also in Algeria ATMs don’t accept international cards, and mostly, people deal in cash rather than cards in general, so you seldom find a shop accepts cards, yet the country is truly lovely and for sure to give more and more visits along other African countries
🇩🇿 ❤
That country is minority ruled. BLACKS WHO FORM THE MAJORITY ARE MARGINALIZED AND UNTIL RECENTLY, ENSLAVED! It's South Africa before apartheid left.
That's result of Islam
Hmmmmmm......that's the global blue print and trend. Don't know where it came from, what the root of it is. It's sick and twisted and cruel but Blk people haven't figured out how to address it and resolve it so it continues and it will continue possibly till melanated or heavily melanated people are extinct. All organic humans will eventually be extinct of all colors on the spectrum humans are dumb downed controlled manipulated weakened programmed conditioned and dna and genetics re-engineered and tinkered and tampered with.😮
South Africa was so much better during the apartheid than it is now lol.
This is so interesting and beautiful. My favorite part was the train ride views and good company. Remember when Bald and Bankrupt rode the train w/ that Belorussian girl that used to travel with him? That was hilarious too😂 that train must bring out everyone’s inner comedian.
Mauritania was beyond expectations. It is very beautiful. We want more countries in North Africa and Arab countries in general. Thank you.❤😊
Mauritania in Africa not Arabia. Mauritania is a African country not Arab.
It actually in west Africa
What you want is shit africa is africa not arabia 😂
Loved your video! Mauritania is somewhere I hope I can travel to one day! Your positive attitude and openness to this country was really inspiring and amazing to see!
No no dont travel there, not good
