I love traveling and exploring new places. I look for adventures and places off the normal path. 2017. I saw a documentary about the country of Mauritania and the Iron Ore train that goes across the Sahara Desert and how locals use the train to travel across the country. I thought to myself about how amazing it would be to travel on that train. Things in my life got in the way of my dream for a few years. But finally in December of 2022  finally decided to just go for it and made plans to go to Mauritania explore the Sahara Desert and finally get to ride across the Sahara on top of an Iron Ore Train. It was the best trip of my life. Mohamed Bekry picked me up at the Airport and guided me through out my whole trip and journey while In Mauritania.  He was just a guide he became an amazing friend.  We have many amazing time talking and spending time together.

Mauritania is one of the safest places I have ever been. The people are amazing and friendly, the food and culture are fascinating to learn about. I think about Mauritania at least once a day and about how much I want to go back. Hopefully someday soon.

We had an amazing experience with Med who was both very personable and well organised for our adventure in Mauritania 🇲🇷 and aboard the Iron Train!

Mohamed Bekry is a wonderful tour guide and extremely helpful and eager to give you the best Mauritanian experience possible! We were put in touch by some friends who had done a tour with him, and he came out of his way to meet us in the city and help us find our way around. He made sure we had everything we needed, even when we were no longer together. Mohamed was only ever a phone call away if we needed help with things like translating and communication with locals, or recommendations around Mauritania. Highly recommend this fun, friendly and trustworthy guy to take care of you!!

Mohammed Bekry’s tour was one of the best experiences of my entire life. His energy, positivity, curiosity and friendliness made me feel so safe and excited it was an absolute pleasure getting to know him and be able to consider him a friend! We are still in contact 2 years later and I couldn’t recommend his tour more highly!

I traveled with Mohamed Békry into the Sahara desert of Mauritania in 2022. Although I chose not to go on the Iron Ore Train, the trip was still great and we visited several historic oasis towns, including ancient Ouidane and Chinguitty. We even camped one night in the desert, which was remarkable. Excellent guide, very attentive to his clients needs. If I return to Mauritania, I would definitely use his services!

I recently did a week-long trip to Mauritania with Mohamed Bekri as my guide. I had a fantastic time, and was amazed by the history and natural wonders of that beautiful country. We drove through a mild sandstorm to Atar. The market there was interesting and authentic. We then drove on in a 4WD vehicle to Chinguetti. The history of that old city was remarkable. The librarian showed us 1000 year old manuscripts in the library. We also drove out past Oadane, into the remote Sahara Desert to the Eye of Africa, one of the natural wonders of the world! The city ruins, dunes and desert-scapes were remarkable. We escaped the heat of the day by finding a magnificent canyon oasis with a swimming hole! We then returned to Nouakchott, with a trip to the huge market, and then to the coast. The beach was teeming with hundreds of colorful fishing boats and frenzied activities as the fishermen came home with their harvest.
I loved beautiful Mauritania! The people were kind, the food was good, wholesome, and healthy, and natural wonders of the desert were stark and beautiful. I can’t wait to get back to ride the Iron train, and to visit Southern Mauritania too.

I was 2023 in Mauritania and i had a great trip with Mohamed Bekry. We was in a Oasis. In Chinguetti,a historic trading town. And then i took the iron ore train with him. It was a great experiance. I highly recommend it.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a multi-day tour through Mauritania, and I cannot express enough how extraordinary this trip was thanks to our incredible tour guide Mohamed Békry

From the moment we met, Mohamed Békry exuded warmth, professionalism, and an impressive depth of knowledge about Mauritania’s rich history, culture, and natural wonders. His passion for Mauritania was contagious and made the entire tour enriching and unforgettable.

First we visited the ancient cities of Chinguetti and Ouadane and learned about the history through fascinating stories and historical insights. Then of course it was on to riding the Iron Ore train. Mohamed made sure we were well prepared and safe. He did everything with a smile. Mohamed Békry ensured everything ran as smoothly as possible, allowing us to focus on enjoying the experience.

Whether on the Ore Train or on the beach the spontaneous tea sessions were unique and memorable moments that I will long remember.

Afterwards we visited the bustling fish and camel markets, and enjoyed authentic Mauritanian cuisine.

Every aspect of the tour was meticulously organized. From accommodations to transportation and meal arrangements. I highly recommend Mohamed Békry to anyone looking to explore the hidden gems of Mauritania and have an unforgettable journey on the Iron Ore Train.
