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!

Goodbye, Ahmed. Thank you for helping Noraly... Goodbye also to all the gentle people of the Sahara!

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

What a Gentleman and a Legend Ahmed is and such a great Ambassador for his beautiful Country of Mauritania 🇲🇷

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.

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👏👏👏🙏🏼

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👏👏👏

Ahmed was a true hero on this adventure. What a guy.

What a wonderful guide Ahmed has been. Thank you Ahmed for allowing Noraly and us to see some incredible people and places.

Not all heroes wear capes…they wear daraa’s 👊🏼 Much respect and thanks to Ahmed for guiding you through the desert!

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 😊

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.

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

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.

Bittersweet moment saying goodbye to Ahmed - truly a God send. Amazing journey through the Sahara, certainly unforgettable 👏

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!

Cheers to Achmed for being a great guide and guiding you safely across the Sahara Desert! As always, thank you for taking us on this amazing journey.

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.

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 😊

Living her best life and showing 99.9% of the rest of us what we can only dream about, Thank you Noraly 🙏🏽

Thanks from the Netherlands to Ahmed for being Noraly's guide, guard, chef cook, gas pump operator, interpreter, transport company ,

Ahmad may not be the eye of the Sahara, but he sure is the star💖

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.

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.

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!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

Rest and restore! Thanks to all who made your journey as pleasurable as possible in such a harsh environment. Ahmed deserves a standing ovation!

Great respect to Ahmed. What a lovely man he is. He was your guiding light for sure. The library was amazing!!

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!!!!!

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!

Ahmed was definitely a blessing for Noraly. After watching year episodes for so long, I believe she would have made it on her own! But ,what a kind, and loving man! Hats off to him!

Oh Noraly, You are the one who gives us lessons on geology, history, we meet interesting people, and see sweeping views of the desert. You let us know that there are such wonderful people on there behind the scene on our planet and Ahmed is one of those. He is just wonderful to see that optimum hero and the lion king of the Sahara "Ahmed" for being Noraly's total guide, guard, chef cook, gas pump operator, her host, interpreter, and the all other transport.. Really he is the complete reflection of Mouritanian society.. Wees voorzichtig en rijd veilig Noraly. Groeten uit Nederland.

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.

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.

Goodbye Ahmed, what a beautiful soul you are! How beautiful this area is and the people are so warm and welcoming. Thanks so much for this amazing adventure.

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. 🤗👍

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 ❤

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 .... 🙌💯🇿🇦

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!

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.

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.

Ahmed has been a Legend!!! Thank you for escorting our Noraly safely through the desert. You are awesome!!! 😊

Blijkbaar was Ahmed je beste vriend en bondgenoot voor deze Mauritaanse reis, het is cool. ✌

A good sense of humor gets you a long way.

The key to this video is not only for our entertainment, but also for educational purposes, thanks Noraly 👍

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.

👍thank you Ahmed and Mauritania for sharing your beautiful country. Thank you for the hospitality provided to our girl👍

The libraries, architecture, geology, Eye, Museum tents, arial views, people and Ahmed! Totally amazing tour of the region gave a true sense of what its like to be there. Just amazing, and thanks for sharing the adventure!

The action shots of both Ahmed and you ripping through the desert were awesome! Ahmed needs a KZfaq channel now!

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. ✌️🇨🇦

I like the humor of the library personnel.

You nailed it again , Noraly . Exceptional video , Ahmed was brilliant companion.

I admire your work and enjoy your commentary, Noraly. Such a true adventurer. I can't imagine doing what you're doing. Brilliant!

Ahmed, you're a hero. Thanks for all the help you gave to Noraly! Salam Aleikum.

❤Ahmed, thank you for traveling with our Noraly. Much appreciated. You are our hero.

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.

I am glad that you made it to your destination. We should thank Acmed for helping you along , what a gent.

Its really genuine adventure, genuine kindness of people and genuine shots. Millions of thanks to you and Ahmed for taking us with both of you. Cheers from Malaysia…

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 .

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.

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 🤠💪🙏🏵️🤠

High five to Ahmed, he is a champion. So enjoy you.

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 ...

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 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.

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 ❤️🇹🇳❤️

Big thumb up for Ahmed too ! The Guide Of The Desert !

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!😂👍👍👍

Love the desert riding and the sights. It's an area where 99.9% of people will never experience.

I liked today's episode, and the beautiful Ahmed is a good person, all thanks to him

I will say goodbye again to Ahmed. What an amazing person he has been over the last four episodes. Let's keep it moving, episode 24 here we come.

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!!!

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.

We love Ahmed! Without him this adventure wouldn't have been possible.

Oh, Noraley I feel so lucky and honored to be on this journey with you. So amazing, Thank you for going through all this to take us along.

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.

These Saharan episodes have been stunning. The first Itchiboots episode I saw was when she was riding along a little sandy road on the west coast of South Africa, saying how much she hated riding on sand. She came across a father and son out riding and they offered to guide her along the beach. She was quite nervous and got stuck in one place, but seemed to enjoy it. I always think of that when I watch her blasting her way through deep desert sands now. She has certainly come a long way, both literally and figuratively speaking😊

Your having the time of your life Noraly and you are taking us with you ❤❤❤

The desert riding looks so much better than the usual road riding. The freedom of just riding anywhere with those stunning sunsets ... nothing can beat it !

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.

Real PARIS-DAKAR . Noraly, just enjoy it. AFRICA will continue to surprise , from Morocco to the south. People are incredibly friendly. You are showing the real face of African people ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

Thank you Ahmed. You are an amazing guide and you took great care of Noraly.

Ahmed will be missed. He was the definition of a gentleman and a scholar. With a great sense of humour to boot!

The world is so vast and amazing, thank you Noraly and Alaska for bringing it into our lives in such a way that we feel we were along with you for the adventure. We all thank you for that. Enjoy the rest of your journey.

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.

شكرا noraly , سفرك رائع و مثير ، رافقتك السلامة . شكر خاص للسيد أحمد الموريتاني الأصيل. تحية طيبة لكم من المغرب 🇲🇦❤

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.

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.

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!

Thank you for showing my country in the best way. You are a kind and optimistic person who likes to be positive. Thank you from the heart. Greetings. 🇲🇷

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.

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!❤

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!

for someone who dreams for adventures, your videos make me cry 🥺, thank u so much Noraly

I'm really loving season 7 so far. Seasons 1-6 are great but I think season 7 is going to be really special. I am learning (through Noraly s travels) that there really is humanity and kindness in our world. What a joy to see. Thanks Noraly and thank you to the people of North Africa for your kindness and help that you have shown to this young woman.

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!

Huge shadout and respect to Ahmed. 🙏🏾 He was a true hero on the road.

Ahmed is one cool dude, to take time from his life to do this for you, with you. Thank him gracefully, for he is one of a kind.

Just makes me want to ditch it all n get myself another bike. Thanks for taking us along with you Noraly. Huge respect to Ahmed and the gentle people of the desert. Also a massive thanks to whoever edits and puts together these vids , you're not forgotten. Escapism at its best.

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!
