Welcome to Geography Now! This is the first and only UA-cam Channel that actively attempts to cover profiles on every single country of the world. We are going to do them alphabetically so be patient if you are waiting for one that's down the road.
CONTACT US if you are from a country that is coming up! Teach us! Email: GeographyLater@gmail.com
Stay cool Stay tuned and remember, this is Earth, your home. Learn about it.
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!
Geography Now hi Barry I am a huge fan
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.
Geography Now Dembele or Dumbelame
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!
Geography Now HELLO BARBY!!!

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 am from Mauritania, thank you very much, hello to the Filipino people, and we hope you will come back.
I’m Filipino Mauritania Glad that you liked it

One of my favorite African countries. I'm from Ghana.
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)

Mauritania indeed seems like a mysterious place.
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.
mina Chercheuse that’s true, we litterally don’t have any problems or anything with the outside we’re just watching it all happen.
@@minachercheuse7299check out bald and bankrupt's new video.. There's a reason why the govt advises no one to travel there.
@@minachercheuse7299 "Kind and ordinary" isn't a good indicator why people don't travel there.
I have never heard of this place....my entire life has been a lie
Much love to Mauritania from Lebanon!
Love lebanon from argentina!

Comments:
80% LOVE YOU MAURITANIA
10% You forgot Atlantis
10% other
Woah! So awesome! You really bring countries to life! Surprised you don’t get sponsors from tourism boards
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......
The buthan episode got a few comments.
Rami Mroueh he got sponsered to go to greenland
Rami Mroueh most boards are not national wide
Red 7
Boards also aren’t
As a Morrocan Mauritania is such a mysterious place not talked about alot on the news
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.
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.
@PolSmokesPot ! Yeah I'm Mauritanian and i wish that too, no lie, it would've been amazing if we were one country
@PolSmokesPot ! I'm here in morocco right now lol
Tijani Tij krdtaaaak 😁
I also want to correct that nouakchott doesn't mean Camels of beach it means ( Noua = Hot ; Kchott = Wood ) in Tamazight language
Oky

Love to mauritania 🇲🇷 from england 🏴
Thank you brother, long live Arsenal and London❤️❤️
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...
I don't really get why people only the countries they know...I think learning about a country you knew almost nothing about is far more entertaining!
Definitely. I especially adore the tiny pacific island nations.
@@Lugmillord Yeah the Pacific islands are my favorite.
I love learning more about countries that I know the least about!
Agreed, love these ones
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
"pretty difficult to transition from that topic. Err... Here's Keith on base!"
It is weird he said that at the moment I was reading your comment .XD
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!
Love you MAURITANIA from India🇮🇳
And Mauritania loves you brother.
Slaver country
Love to you brother 💙
we love you too
Mauritania has big connection with india ..
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.
Señor Sirowatko *hmm*
🇨🇨🇲🇷🇯🇲
Cocos is under Australia though, not independent country
Juicy Lemon and the other is the old Maurit flag
the red is actually in memory of soldiers who fought for freedom 😂😂😂😂
I LOVE MAURITANIA
💟🇲🇷🇩🇿🇲🇦🇱🇾🇹🇳💟
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.
سلام and love from افغانستان (Afghanistan) to my Mauritanian brothers & sisters.
This person is progressing very fast! Watching since Bahamas. Love you 😍
Yeah jokes aside I think he will be at Zimbabwe next year.
Love Mauritania from wales🏴🇲🇷❤️
Love to Wales . I'm from Mauritania
3:48 It looks like the Big Red Spot on Jupiter.
I can't believe we started to follow your channel 3 years ago. It has helped me a lot with english. Look forward to see venezuela.
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
You are welcome
I m from nouakchott. Mauritania
You have the internet?

Sorry for the auto correct the eye of Africa
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!!!
ITS TIME TO LEARN GEOGRAPHY
*NOW!*
I've started loving geography because of this channel! Thanks alot GN!❤
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.
It took me too much scrolling to find this! Came to say the same!
I live in Arizona and thank you for noticing that! I've been to the crater and it seemed familiar lol.
@@liamvarin6209 DST is trash right?
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.😯
Thanks a lot for the effort you puts in I'm a mauritanian citizen and I really appreciate it
2:16 "But you can also ride it as a passenger" alright, I'll try sitting in ores and coal for a change of scenery
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)

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 🇨🇦
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.
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.
My dad was born there (we are French). He'll love this episode

Posted 3 minutes afgo, seen 3k times? Damm, your channel is popular!

Sander Skovly It wasn't always so popular. I was one of the first 1000 people to view his Afghanistan and Albania videos.
I don't remember when I began. I think it just random came in my suggestions, and after more and more videoes I couldn't stop. BTW, hope he remakes hi video after Zwitzerland
is done.
I got recommended the Algeria video when it was posted years ago
Oh, that's interesting. But there are people that literary sit on their computers for hours waiting for the video to upload thoe (to be the first...)
Thank you endlessly for this "such great" video.

There was a ship that had almost the same name as this country! One of Cunard's 'ocean greyhounds' -- RMS Mauretania, which held the Blue Riband (the unofficial record for fastest transatlantic crossing) for 20 years!
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.
I can't wait to visit Mauritania. They have the best food, and the people are so nice. I can deal with the sand in exchange for those simple things.
Great episode
#Respect from Mauritania
Yeah! It was a really good episode and especially the information was amazing . I like this country because of it's culture,tradition , cuisine and very nice people that offer a talk with a you and a tea. It is a country suffering from dangerous situations despite it, they are trying to move forward refixing everything up .thank you! Barbs

I've been waiting ages for Mauritius! Can't wait!!!
Also Mauritania has the best national anthem. There's a vocal version here on YT - it's pretty funky as national anthems go.
2:33 That's Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona. I know because I have been there
FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH ALL THE EPISODES!! It took a few months but I'm here!
This series has become my favorite part of my school week!
The Richat structure is the remains of Atlantis. It matches Plato's description exactly.
No it isn't and no it doesn't.
I can't wait for the Serbia episode in 2047!
Dank
The Serb is video comment section should be disabled though cause it'll be too toxic
Serbia Episode will be all about War Crimes, ethnic cleansing, alcoholics, incest and sadists.
serbia is two episodes away now
Zimbabwe episode will be ready in 2047 ...
Getting ready for vietnam boys

@@leaderofthelewishpeople6382 You'll have to define peaceful first. Do you consider a prisoner in a cage "peaceful"?
@@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.
