Invited by NOMADS in Mauritania for some CAMEL MILK |S7 - E19| 

A big shout out to the people of Mauritania for their hospitality & noraly too for showing us the true Mauritania.

Ahmed is really a legend in Mauritania. What a personality and supportive guy he is. Mauritanian's people hospitality is at another level.

You have truly blown any stereotypes about Mauritania out of the water. Such hauntingly beautiful landscapes, and amazing people. Ahmed is our new Hero for helping you out and escorting you so far. He's a great ambassador for his people.

Ahmed travelling, gliding through the desert, drawing curves in the sand is like an albatros gliding through oceans. It seems so easy for him. A wonderful human being meeting with another wonderful human being made a wonderful story. Thanks to both Ahmed and Noraly.

👏👏👍HUGE shoutout to Ahmed for coming to your 'rescue' !! 🙏🙏He will be added to the list of ItchyBoots Angels. Glad you are safe. Have a well-deserved rest. Respect 🙏💖🏍🤠

What a top lad Ahmed is. He was absolutely impeccable. The nomads in the desert seems to have a pretty tight sense of community and always looking after one's in need. Legends!

Ahmed was fantastic in his emergency support for Noraly. His ability to navigate through the desert! I just love his blue flowing robes and personality. What an absolutely amazing episode!

That part of the desert you crossed today is called Tiress, it is a well beloved desert there. Every single part of that vast area has a name, and you can't imagine how many times do those places appear in poems and songs (both in Hassaniya, and classical Arabic poems).. Tiress has a mysterious charm, its air is beautiful and its plants/weather are healthy for camels.. lovely to see you cross it and enjoy a well deserved rest in the beautiful oasis of Atar ! :)

Ahmed, your own personal rally guide. What a legend

Three cheers for Ahmed🎉🎉🎉. What a great guide and human being, to go out of his way to assist Noraly and Alaska. Fantastic ride through the beautiful Mauritanian desert. Thanks , Noraly for sharing this adventure. Cheers and stay safe. Dan. ✌️🇨🇦

How did we get so lucky to have the someone like Noraly show us the world in such a beautiful perspective? I cannot get over this journey. ❤

I love that Ahmed, everybody needs an Ahmed in their lives. Salute to you, Sir.

Ahmed saved the day! I can't imagine what would have happened if he hadn't offer to help. That was a lot of desert to cross by yourself unguided!

12 hours traveling through a hot desert sitting upon a hot motor. Noraly will sleep well tonight! Thank you to the people of Mauritania for looking after Noraly!

Ahmed is the greatest ambasador for Tourism Mauritania. What a great guy. Such incredible desert beauty and adventure. Great video.

As a biker, she kept me on the edge of my seat as she rides through the desert. Sand can be so challenging to ride through! I'm glad she's safe. When she rides, we all ride with her.

Ahmed, another kind soul that gives us hope humanity can still be saved. I hope you bought him a tanker load of fuel so he can continue to help all those that may venture behind you as a result of your great videos. Pay it forward. :)

Just WOW !1 Thank you for taking us to see landscapes, that most likely, us 1.6 million viewers would never have seen.

I'm not sure you would have made it through that desert without Ahmed's help. SO, SO remote and largely trackless. Well done on such a tough ride! (And good to know you paid for Ahmed's time and fuel. His help was priceless!)👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💛💛

شعب مضياف وكريم شكراً لأهلنا في موريتانيا لقد اعطوا نورالي صورة رائعة عن المسلمين وحبهم لاغاثة الملهوث 🌹 .. تحياتي لكم من السعودية 🇸🇦🇸🇦

Somehow I feel your anxiety and nervousness having to traverse the desert with 1 bar of fuel left! But the comfort is knowing you have Ahmed with you!

You definitely found gold in Ahmed! Very kind of him to act as a guide. The people of Mauritania have been very supportive and kind. And, the desert area is very beautiful! Ride safe Noraly!

That honk when he's turning around to look for you and you honk to let him know you are there. That is life. 🔥

Fantastic scenery ✅... Educational ✅... Restores your faith in Humanity ✅... amazing work by our Queen of the Desert

Ahmed, thank you very much for supportin Noraly!! You are the best!!!

Ahmed is a Godsend. We all want an Ahmed at some time in our lives. Good health to him and good tidings as well to all Ahmeds out there.

What a super wonderful man you met that helped you get out of that horrible situation of your motorcycle not starting. Then, he took you to his place and later accompanied you to a new destination. He is one of the angels that you will find along the way. You are not alone, Noraly. I also want to point out that I had noticed how all your motorcycles always started on the first try and how frustrating must have been for you when "Alaska" did not start. Wow! What a great adventure. Godspeed, Noraly.

Splendid video today watching Ahmed kindness and his outstanding gesture helping Noraly even though that he was injured. He is gold.

As a fellow geologist I must say that I truly do envy you Noraly. We spend time at mining and exploration sites all around the world, but never really get the chance to explore the countries that we are in because we are paid to fly in, work and then fly out. You have charted a unique path for yourself and I commend you for that. Stay safe and great adventures to come!

Achmed is an amazing gentleman to escort you to your destination safely. To all the people there, thank you for protecting Noraly. I hope you can get the transmission issue sorted soon. At breakfast yesterday, my old biker buddies are all talking about you and how you are so capable of handling sand now, and you are complete in your riding skills. And your winning smile makes friends everywhere you go. An amazing woman you are.

The Nomads were such a treat and their hospitality is to be greatly admired. The man escorting Loraly and carrying her luggage while showing her the way through the desert is just amazing. Thanks for the adventure Loraly!

Holy buckets! She might not have finished this leg of her journey without her good friend carrying her luggage! Thank you for being a Good Samaritan!

This small Honda is a small consumer and very reliable motorcycle. We have to admit the same thing about reliability for this Toyota :-) Ride safe Noraly!

Noraly, thank you! I have found through travels in many parts of the world that people are mostly helpful and kind. You find a person who is willing to help you when you are in need. You find the police who are ready to provide shelter when you are in need. You find random people who invite you into their homes for refreshments. That reflects what I have found as I have traveled many places. Of course, there are others who want to take advantage. They are everywhere. But, across the world, there are far more who want to help, to show that their country is good, to protect us from harm. I am enthralled by the beauty and compassion you show us every week. Thank you.

And the adventures continue. Noraly is like a cat, always landing on her feet regardless of her mishaps… and always a true ambassador of good will.

Wow…100 thumbs up for this adventure ! Ahmed was an absolute blessing. Amazing how a casual meet at the border could turn into such an unforgettable experience. The nomad life is unbelievable and your interaction with all the people is so heartwarming. Alaska definitely earned her keep on this one!

I got emotional watching the episode n the hospitality of muslim brother AHMED of Mauritania.. From Pakistan love u brother

Ahmed is not just a hero and helpful. He is truly noble. What a wonderful place this world would be if we had more of him.

Ahmed picking up random people along the way what a legend.

Two legends in this episode... Ahmed the Knight in Shining Armor, and Noraly on Alaska. What a epic journey across the desert!

Ahmed is the man. A "Roger of the Western Sahara" if you remember Roger out of Wallace, Idaho from Season 6. I buy and burn gasoline by the gallon (except when infrequently riding in Canada). So, when Noraly arrived Atar and Alaska took two tenths shy of capacity I incorrectly thought it wasn't too bad- I've done that a number of times. Then I remembered it is two tenths of a liter not of a gallon! That converts to a mere 7 ounces remaining in Alaska! This brings me back to Ahmed. His hauling of Noraly's luggage was key to Alaska not running out.

Oh yes, I forgot. You have no idea how many times I pause your episodes to search the places, the geological formations that you bring us. Your channel is just spectacular.

Wow, when Noraly says she is going for a ride in the desert, she is not kidding!!! Ahmed was a life saver. Best time I have ever had seeing nothing but sand.

When life gives itchy boots lemons she makes champagne. A very singular woman!✌️🤟

I cried through most of this one, I actually cry through most of them😂simply because of the beauty. The beauty of the people the places the interactions. SO MUCH BEAUTY. Feel it so deeply. Thank you for sharing these amazing experiences. Love to you Noraly, love to your guides and hosts and helpers. ❤ 🫂

In several ways Noraly's experiences in the last two episodes reminded me of her experiences in Nevada/Utah in season 6. First, the bike crash injuring Noraly in the US and Alaska in Mauritania. Second, the rescue from a saviour summoned by her for help. And finally, a guided tour from the saviour over the area which she intended to traverse herself had no crash occurred. We are all so grateful for those who have gone out of their way to help another human in need.

The generosity and general good heartedness of people all over the world amaze me!

Amazing terrain, Amazing people. Outstanding hospitality is part of their culture. Ahmed has been a very good Ambassador for his country. We are all getting a great feeling about this area without politics and religion getting in the way of the humanity. This could not be any better. Proud of Noraly.

Three cheers for Ahmed ! What super nice guy to help out Noraly and show her such an adventure ! What a special episode .

That rock formation in the middle of the desert was a sight to behold. Thanks for another great trip. Ahmed was a great tour guide. 👍

What a blessing Alaska's non-starting became: Achmed to the rescue, turned out not to be major mechanical problem, but brought Noraly's escort and pathfinder. Had she needed to cross that desert track loaded with luggage on her own, we might not be watching this episode so quickly. As much fun as solo riding can be, for me having a fellow traveler allows me to relax more. Thank you, Noraly and Achmed for a great adventure.

I know you like traveling alone and exploring by yourself but this guy is golden.

Incredible adventure Noraly! What an absolute blessing Ahmed was - especially to travel that distance and give up his time. Such a generous man, fabulous guide, a hero IMHO. That nomadic family too. In my experience, desert people are incredibly hospitable, generous and kind. 💜

Noraly:"I hope you liked it" are you kidding ? We sat riveted to our seats right to the end of the video! What a magnificent episode. Thank you for taking us along. I feel enlightened, yet again, about a place and people I previously knew nothing about. Enjoy your visit Noraly, and get some much needed rest.

Those who have the least to give, more often give the most. A lesson the top end of town could learn if humanity is to survive itself. The people, the landscape, the wildlife and adventure... Noraly & Alaska are living the good life 😁👍

Whatever Ahmed was paid …it was worth it! What an extraordinary adventure. A memory forever.

You deserve a medal for crossing the desert. You must be so proud of yourself. Well done noraly. Enjoy your rest you've certainly earned it.

Wow what an adventure...... Noraly what an adventurer, ....Ahmed what a guardian angel.....Honda What bike....It still had 50kms in that terrain..... Thats the complete Itchy boots experience

It's like you're riding on another planet, Noraly! Very nice hospitality of the Mauritanian nomads. I'm sure there aren't many people in this world that can say they've had a traditional camel milk greeting with nomads. Thank you, Ahmed for taking care of Noraly! Giving the rest of us a great perspective of the world. Thanks for this video, Noraly. Great job!

What a kind person Ahmed is! Glad to see you back making progress in that sand. Now to enjoy the next 20 minutes! Noraly you’re the best.

What I almost admire the most about your journeys Noraly is, that you will eat and drink almost anything :).

I applaud you Noraly for your adventurous spirit and your tenacity. The landscape in Mauritania is amazing and epic. And, once again, so many good people along the way! Ahmed, I commend you again for your over the top assistance to Noraly!! Thank you sir! Peace be with you, your family, and friends.

What kind people you encounter. May we all learn from these humble people to be so giving. Thank you Noraly for sharing your adventures.

You always seem to amaze me how you manage to communicate with the locals. What an ambassador you are and not just for the Dutch or women but for the world. I’ve watch your adventures from the beginning and still find you amazing. Ride safe and have fun. 🇺🇸

When I watch Noraly go through deep sand in an endless desert I can feel my muscles gripping the chair arms. I can feel the desire to stand up a bit and tell myself, as if I was riding, to hit the gas! or no, no, not that way, this way. What great videos. It's so cool to see how friendly and welcoming the locals are to her. Everyone loves our Noraly.

Desert people have pure souls. I come from the desert and when I emigrated to the city I experienced a great shock.

The Mauritanian are so nice to Noraly. Thumbs up to them for helping and welcoming her.

Dear Noraly, I appreciate the one happy place I can always find a break from the bad news around us all. You bring such joy each and every time. It is so special and so greatly appreciated.! Keep going!

Who among all the thousands of followers of Noraly, have been offered camel's milk and tea by nomads? What an adventure! Every episode is filled with new happenings! Love it!!

Said it before, but this is definitely your toughest terrain. The distances should be measured in hours, not kilometres. I know how independant you are on your adventures, but Ahmed really helped with navigation, and load carrying this time, and no shame in that. Great season so far. 🌞

What a Champion of hospitality Ahmed is! Bless his heart!

Noraly, thank you so much this latest adventure had it all, suspense, danger and a destination that delivered you a refill and rest. Thank you Achmed for keeping our precious Noraly safe🙏👏💝

Incredible, Noraly pulls the best out of people in the middle of NOWHERE... I now understand the randomness of tracks in the desert. Everyone just knows were they want to go and make tracks in that general direction. There's a rock formation that is a way point, a dune etc. All sorta eyeballed/close enough. They make it to their destination.. This is better than the Amazing Race that I USE to enjoy years ago, because of the different cultures...

Wow wow wow, I am still speachless while watching every single second of this amazing , wonderful and georgeus adventure you have been made. I also still speachless about what has AHMED done to help you, given his guidance all the far distances for a long time with his kindly heart together with all the mouritanian nomades and people as well.That Ahmed is really the hero and the lion of the desert, . Wow wow wow..Wees voorzichtig Noraly en rijd ook veilig . Greetings from the Netherlands.

I’m so happy Ahmed was taken care of by you to say he was a life safer is an understatement the people and hospitality you have been shown is unbelievable and priceless. You have a guardian angel watching over you on your journeys speaking for your parents and me I’m relieved that you do. Stay safe may your blessings continue on this most amazing journey. Michael Walvis 🐳

So much of the world we would never see without Noraly. Always on the road less traveled. I keep coming back to how the visit by Itchy Boots must effect the local people. n a short period I met a man who had never left New York city and then a man who had never left his tiny vilage in Alaska. What an amazing diversity our beautiful planet holds! Ride on safely!

Hi Noraly, thanks for the ride through the desert of Mauritania, kudos to the beautiful people of Mauritania, especially Ahmed, truly my hero, take a nice rest before we can proceed our journey,, keep well dearest, God bless 🙏

Talk about far flung corners of the world. A fellow with a chainsaw on a mountain road to a gentleman with a Toyota truck who knows the vast desert like the back of his hand. This is a unique channel.

Noraly, sowas von erfrischend Deine Reportage.Herzlichen Dank dafür. Ja das Problem mit dem Benzinvorrat ist glücklich ausgegangen mit 2 dl Restmenge. Jetzt kannst Du Dich ein Bisschen ausruhen beim Landsmann und hoffen dass die Kamelmich nicht zu arg Deinen Verdaungstrakt durcheinander bringt. Gespannt wies weitergeht.😊

This may be your best season yet IMO. You've done more for tourism in Mauritania than anyone else. Achmed will praise you for years to come I think.

Every episode in this season is getting better and better. Mauritania is such a surprise gem!

I too in my wanderings have found that these Nomad people are incredibly hospitable. This girl was lucky to have been rescued by such a gentleman. Deserts are beautiful but can be deadly. Regards, Jim the Brit in NI UK

What a trip! I enjoy your videos so much. I just want to say thank you for sharing it twith me and all your fans and followers. 🙏

As a Motorcycle mechanic and a Motorcyclist e warms mu hearth watching how great the people of the world can be .... I big thank toy to Ahmed a all the people of Mauritania ..Explore Noraly and may the great powers of human kind be with you

Increíble actitud de Ahmed, tener tanta empatía con el prójimo y un profundo conocimiento de desierto!!! Encontrarse con gente así es un privilegio y hay qué mostrarlo al mundo. Noraly, gracias por compartir ésta experiencia!!!

God was looking after you by sending “Ahmed” to take care of you. What a wonderful man, he has restored my faith in humanity. The scenery was outstanding, I envy you.

Ahmed is a legend. He'll talk of this for years to come too. He may be a local, but any excuse to go bush bashing in the ol' 4x4 would have been more than welcome. ;)

You could see that Ahmed is a master at avoiding the soft an difficult sections of sand. No doubt he has been driving in that stuff most of his life.

That had to be fun riding the desert without the luggage on Alaska. Again ,Ahmed is the best!

احيي احمد على تعاونه الجبار، أتمنى لك مغامرات ممتعة وسلامة.

Wow Wow Wow,Noraly what a desert adventure! Ahmed is amazing.People are so kind.❤

Ahmed deserves an award for promoting Mauritania as a country of hospitable people. Thank goodness you and he crossed paths as he proved to be almost angelic in the way in which he guided you safely through the desert 🏜 ...great episode. 🎉

The people appear to have so little but always share so much. Always a welcome and always willing to help. Thanks for the ride!

What an adventure. Just wonderful to watch and see another part of the world and the local cultures. Thanks Noraly, great fun to watch.

Believe it or not, you look so glowing and gorgeous for riding 12 hours Noraly... I guess the Mauritanian desert heat had done good for your skin. Lovely Your rides had proven my belief that there are still plenty of kind and good people everywhere.

Heartwarming all these wonderful people everywhere. Actually sad to see how much warmth we lost in the West. Greetings from the Netherlands💖💖💖

In this community Ahmed wrote history for being a kind of "chainsaw-Roger" of Mauritania 😉💪👍

Ahmed :) What a Man u are, Thanks for taking care of our Noraly :)

I love the blue robe Ahmed is wearing…it looks cool and comfortable.

An Angel in the desert to provide guidance. Noraly, I beginning to believe you are a human with supernatural powers😉, beyond the ability to collect over 1.6 million followers. What an amazing ride. Thank you for the ride👍👍
