Excellent and safe - Absolutely fantastic trip made possible by Mohamad one of the best guides I’ve had in this entire region of the world. Incredibly knowledgeable. Incredibly kind. Incredibly polite and very accommodating to customize tours. We were able to see the highlights of the city over two days. His deep knowledge of the culture and history of this country enriched the visit tremendously. Highly recommend this tour organization.

Great Day Trip in Mauritania - This day tour in Mauritania was excellently paced, offering just the right amount of time to experience the most notable sites without ever feeling rushed. In Nouakchott, the capital, the guide stood out for his deep local knowledge, friendly and approachable demeanor, and consistently punctual service. Beyond offering facts, he seemed genuinely attuned to the needs of travelers and navigated challenges with calm, thoughtful problem-solving. From logistical planning to offering guidance in a relaxed and professional way, everything felt well-organized and effortless. The experience struck a perfect balance between informative and enjoyable making for a truly memorable and smooth afternoon. By the end of the day, the return timing felt just right, rounding out a complete and satisfying journey.

Amazing tour! - Such a fun day out! From the camel market, to the fishing harbour, the dunes of the Sahara and the market. Nouakchott is an excellent place to explore. Mohamed was very reliable, punctual and helpful. He is also an amazing driver and speaks excellent English. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Nouakchott with a lovely local!

A great tour of the city! - I enjoyed my day in Nouakchott with Mohamed. He is a really good tour guide with lots of knowledge and patience to talk about the city and his country. I enjoyed getting to know the different parts of the city where by myself I would not have known by myself. His English is excellent and therefore can explain and talk in very good detail. He made the tour great with his professionalism and personality. I enjoyed the most the sea and camel market where it is a great opportunity to understand local markets and see the beauty of the ocean. I definitely recommend for future travellers to have Mohamed as a tour guide.

Brilliant Tour Of Nouakchott - Mohammed our guide was exceptional. Courteous, knowledgeable, kind (so much so that he paid for lunch and for some medication for my friend who had a bad back in local currency) We really appreciated his kindness and his professionalism was without parallel. He isa credited to his home town and country. His English was 1st rate. I would highly recommend his services. He even organised transport to the airport the following morning.

all highlights in Nouakchot - Mohamed was a great guy, he picked me up from the hotel outside of Nouakchot and took time to show me all the important points in Nouakchott. We even took time to buy something for himself at the market and we had a lunch together. His English was good and I like to be flexible with him about points that I prefered to see. Also to mention that he was a good and a save driver, which is important in this city....
