Welcome to the land of "Wind and poets" and dang, for a country mostly covered in sand they sure know how to talk to dolphins! As one of the least visited countries of the world #Mauritania remains quite the controversial enigma on a global scale and today we attempt to scratch the surface. The hot, dry sandy surface. ENJOY!
I am from Morocco, and the only thing I should know about Mauritania is that it should belong to us, and that it's empty, dry, and full of sand and iron.
Hi Paul! I hope you make justice to the saharawi people in the Mauritania and Morocco episodes. Western Sahara is legally the last colony in Africa. We've suffered a lot and still have to live in refugee camps, under ocupation or abroad. Families are separated, people barely have their basic needs and human rights fullfilled and youth have a future with very little oportunities. Me myself I live abroad in Spain, but i was born and raised in the refugee camps in Algeria. I want to send you a letter and items from my culture, but I'm waiting to gather with some friends. Hope it will be soon! Free Western Sahara!
I'm from the Phillipines and I went to Mauritania back in May 2012 with my parents because my dad is a seaman and me and mom invited us to join with him in his work inside of a cargo ship (my dad's ship came from Israel so me and mom have to travel to see him and we travel to Mauritania to dock) If I remember, we docked to Nouadhibou and we decided to go to buy supplies. We have a tour guide from that place and he is VERY NICE. I asked him what language did they use and he said Arabic and French. We stopped to a Chinese restaurant there to eat in Nouadhibou where they are also Chinese that are working there. I remember that there is a train that is so long! Our tour guide told us they are importing dynamite? I forgot but I heard it is dynamite. I wish we could travel more in Mauritania but we only have a short time to go back to our ship. I never got a chance to try their actual food from Mauritania (just the Chinese restaurant there) but next time. Love from the Philippines! 🇵🇭🇲🇷
I favorited this so that it will appear in the top comments so that hopefully a tourism board will see it and possibly consider sponsoring. BUT HEY! I mean YOU STARTED IT So......
It's amazing the way you handle each country. It is clear that you conduct in-depth research on each country and its culture, knowing points that value each region of the world, and this is what, for me, makes your content even more extraordinary.
Lol seing this type of talk being told about my country is so funny. No we're just normal people. Very kind and ordinary. That's why there isn't much attention towards us.
I'm from Mauritania and I can tell you've made some mistakes. For example, Nouakchott doesn't mean "place of winds", it means "Camels of Beach" (Nouak = Camels) and (chott = beach). but thank you most of the information in the video are correct.
I lived in Mauritania when I was a kid and, yes, this description is spot on correct. It's a harsh, desolate land and it's amazing how the culture developed here. Good job as usual! As for food, the description should basically be mint tea, goat, and couscous, then more mint tea, goat, and couscous, then more...
Mongolia is gonna be sooooo interesting. It’s like the 20th largest country but 230th most densely populated. I feel like no one knows ANYTHING about it other than the mongols. That’s one I’m really looking forward to
yagyag yahee it does.. there are both white and black people in mauritania.. and it kinda make sense cause we’re between Morocco (99% white) and Senegal (99% black)
I love the guest stars. Your Ethiopia, Ecuador, Ireland, Egypt, and South Korea episodes are so cool with the guests you had in them! Looking forward to seeing nick and hopefully more guest stars!
I'd like to take a guess what the flag represents. Star represents the people. The crescent for Islam. Yellow for the sandy land that makes up majority of the country. Green represents the hope for better future. Maybe even Islam again. And then red. *(begin violently mentally headbanging) BBBBLOOOOODDDD OFF THOOOSE WHOOO FIIIGHT FOORRRR THE FREEDOMMMMMMM**
Shark Team The addition of the red is fairly new, and along with the raising of the rebel flag over Libya, makes the Jamaican flag the only country flag on earth to have neither red, white, nor blue.
This series finished 3 months ago, and I just found it today! I'm binging every episode from this channel, and then I'm gonna use the information I learn to travel to different places and make friends! Everyone deserves to eat! Make more food for more people and demolish our economy! All is fulfilling, and I'm going to support this cause!
Barby!! You are seriously THE BEST geography UA-camr out there!! I've looked briefly at other channels and none come even remotely close to how awesome your videos are. I challenge anyone to say otherwise!!!
I sailed across the Atlantic from The Grand Canaries to the Caribbean, on the way we passed just to far away from Mauritania to see. Looking at the GPS was the first time I’d seen the name nouakchott, ever since I’ve wanted to visit this mysterious place I spent so much time so close to, but never being able to visit
Mauritania is very interesting country, I was working in theirs offshore sector for almost two years. Mauritians are friendly persons. In my opinion someone should invest there in tourism, this country has big potential in this sector.
Not only do I love your videos but I love how positive the comments section is too. The world is so divided these days, but the GN fam is from all over and it makes me happy.
PolSmokesPot ! Akhi thank you very much for your kindness we LOVE you too ❤🇸🇾❤ 🇲🇦❤ I also hope that i one day can visit Casablanca , Marrakesch , and Of course Chefchoun 💙💙 Long live Morocco ✌❤
lol at 2:32 he showed a photo of the Meteor Crater site (Barringer Crater) in Arizona when talking about Kiffa. The snow-capped mountains in the background and the road leading to the impact site should've been dead giveaways. Kiffa was a very small meteorite impact in 1970. Tenoumer is the large ancient impact crater in Mauritania.
Another former Arizona resident here, now living in southern Utah... I went to college in Flagstaff at the foot of those mountains in the background. They're called the San Francisco Mountains, but it's not because you can see all the way to San Francisco from the top. It just seems that way. Anyway, I was going to comment that the Mauritanian crater bore a striking resemblance to Meteor Crater in Arizona, but I'm a couple of years too slow I guess. YYeah, the snow-capped peaks gave it away.😯
You’ve missed something about the Ethnicity In Mauritania 🇲🇷 you can find those 4 major ethnicity 1Bidan ( Maures black and white) 2-Fulani 3-Wolof 4-Soninké And not peoples from Congo and Niger 🇳🇪 even though you can find some Fulani all across the era.
@A They hassanit Beni Ḥassan (Arabic: بني حسان "Children of Ḥassān") is a nomadic group of Arabian origin, one of the four sub-tribes of the Maqil Arab tribes who emigrated in the 10th century to the Maghreb with the Bani Hilal and Banu Sulaym tribes.[1] In Morocco, they first settled, alongside their Maqil relatives, in the area between Tadla and the Moulouya River. The Sous Almohad governor called upon them for help against a rebellion in the Sous, and they resettled in and around that region.[2] They later moved to Mauritania,[3] and from the 16th century onwards, they managed to push back all black Mauritanians southwards to the Senegal Valley river.[4] The Beni Hassan and other warrior Arab tribes dominated the Sanhaja Berber tribes of the area after the Char Bouba war of the 17th century. As a result, Arabian culture and language came to dominate, and the Berber tribes underwent some Arabisation. The Bani Hassan dialect of Arabic became used in the region and is still spoken, in the form of Hassaniya Arabic.
Looks like a beautiful country. I usually make friends with locals wherever I travel -hopefully I'll be able to meet wonderful people there as well. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
@@leaderofthelewishpeople6382 it's a long answer; in the past if you obey Saddam & his officers you would be fine for the most part, not saying that it was easy or at least humain, but you didn't have to worry about your father not coming back from work because of a car bomb or assassination by the various radical militias often for dump or no reasons. However, almost all people used to sleep hungry, and now the economic situation is slightly better even though poverty is still a major issue. Also, Iraqis didn't quite got freedom; just last month the Gov. cut down the internet for a couple of days because there were big demonstrations against corruption and asking for basic rights like drinking water and power so it's clearly "fake freedom"... I can't give you the full idea in one comment but Iraq now is unstable with no sign of permenent relief.
TheTastyDuck i was in Mauritanië for 3 days and actually saw that train, the people where really just sitting on the ores (mostly it was stone with some gold inside)
Is it true in mauritania, when a bride is about get married she had to eat a lot of food in order get fat due to the vision of "well fed" people are healthier *sorry for my english btw Also Fun Fact: I our language "Wilaya" literally means "region" (with H)
Pardon_ noo ur talking about something that u have no knowledge about. first of ll they don't cut finger, yes they force u to be fat and it was horrible, but it was a tradition and people approved of it during the period of time they lived in. After a while people found out that it was bad and very primitive and now most people don't practice it anymore. It was a tradition used by uneducated people like when Chinese used to practice footbinding or some people can say that practicing ballet dancing is bad because kids break their fingers practicing it
I think it is from the ottomans who used to divide their territory into adminstrative regions by the same name. Tho it is Arabic I think they popularised it.
It seems like the historical part from Almoravids (12th century) to Portuguese (16th) was just ignored. I mean after the Almoravids, Mauritania was still under the moroccan kingdoms influences, after the alaouites came in and the annexation again (with Ismail's campaign). The wolof states were still around there in the south by the end of the 19th century
Mauritiana is buffer zone between Morocco and black Africa essiently It's ethier been controlled by the various West African kingdoms or Moroccan dynasty's.
@PolSmokesPot ! Yes there was even before Islam. I agree. I'm saying is Mauritania is were the two meet its mix of Berber,Arab and West African culturally and geneticly. I'm not dissing on Mauritania I'm just stateing the fact that's it's always been a middle ground between two.
Great Video! I'm so excited for the Mexico episode, when ever that may be. I'm sure it'll be great as it's such a big country rich in many things. Been watching since the first video waiting for Mexico. And now that we hit the M's I'm more hyped.

They hassanit
Beni Ḥassan (Arabic: بني حسان "Children of Ḥassān") is a nomadic group of Arabian origin, one of the four sub-tribes of the Maqil Arab tribes who emigrated in the 10th century to the Maghreb with the Bani Hilal and Banu Sulaym tribes.[1]
In Morocco, they first settled, alongside their Maqil relatives, in the area between Tadla and the Moulouya River. The Sous Almohad governor called upon them for help against a rebellion in the Sous, and they resettled in and around that region.[2]
They later moved to Mauritania,[3] and from the 16th century onwards, they managed to push back all black Mauritanians southwards to the Senegal Valley river.[4] The Beni Hassan and other warrior Arab tribes dominated the Sanhaja Berber tribes of the area after the Char Bouba war of the 17th century. As a result, Arabian culture and language came to dominate, and the Berber tribes underwent some Arabisation. The Bani Hassan dialect of Arabic became used in the region and is still spoken, in the form of Hassaniya Arabic.

*sorry for my english btw
Also Fun Fact:
I our language "Wilaya" literally means "region" (with H)
yes it was a tradition but it died because Mauritanians now live in the 21st century
The cut her fingers to force her to drink camel milk to be fat!! That’s horrible
Pardon_ noo ur talking about something that u have no knowledge about. first of ll they don't cut finger, yes they force u to be fat and it was horrible, but it was a tradition and people approved of it during the period of time they lived in. After a while people found out that it was bad and very primitive and now most people don't practice it anymore. It was a tradition used by uneducated people like when Chinese used to practice footbinding or some people can say that practicing ballet dancing is bad because kids break their fingers practicing it
There are over 70 reasons that you have to go through to cut someone's hands off in islamic jurisprudence
Are u Malaysian😁
I've been subscribed to this channel for a couple of years now and still waiting for the morocco video...can't believe it's finally getting closer :')
I really like it that you don't use like 10min to talk about your merchandise (like other UA-camr so). It makes you very sympathetic❤
“Wilaya” means region, in Indonesia, region is “wilayah”. Almost the same 👍🇮🇩
Influences from Arab traders I guess
Wilaya is also a Swahili name meaning region
@@FairyCRat yes
In Algeria we say that too
:-)
I think it is from the ottomans who used to divide their territory into adminstrative regions by the same name. Tho it is Arabic I think they popularised it.

I've been waiting for this episode ever since i discovered your channel in January.
i'm from Mauritius, can't wait for your video!:D
3:48 It looks like the Big Red Spot on Jupiter.
Mauritius episode gonna be real good
It seems like the historical part from Almoravids (12th century) to Portuguese (16th) was just ignored.
I mean after the Almoravids, Mauritania was still under the moroccan kingdoms influences, after the alaouites came in and the annexation again (with Ismail's campaign).
The wolof states were still around there in the south by the end of the 19th century
mauritania is moroccan. no doubt about that.
Mauritiana is buffer zone between Morocco and black Africa essiently It's ethier been controlled by the various West African kingdoms or Moroccan dynasty's.
@PolSmokesPot ! Yes there was even before Islam. I agree. I'm saying is Mauritania is were the two meet its mix of Berber,Arab and West African culturally and geneticly. I'm not dissing on Mauritania I'm just stateing the fact that's it's always been a middle ground between two.
how about you take Ceuta and Melila first before you claim another sovereign country?!
@Stanley Dougé Geo Topnymes in Mauritana are mostly berbers...flagrant proof it's an amazigh territory
Nick has a great youtube vibe. Go Nick!
Great Video! I'm so excited for the Mexico episode, when ever that may be. I'm sure it'll be great as it's such a big country rich in many things. Been watching since the first video waiting for Mexico. And now that we hit the M's I'm more hyped.
