about me
I am Mohamed Salem
My name is Mohamed Salem, Founder, Operator, and Lead Guide of Tours in Mauritania. I am a Mauritanian travel professional with deep roots in my country and a lifelong connection to the desert, its people, and its traditions.
Over the years, I have guided travelers from all over the world across Mauritania, sharing not only landscapes, but also stories, culture, and authentic ways of life. From the vast Sahara dunes and hidden oases to ancient caravan cities and the legendary iron ore train, my goal has always been to offer real experiences — far from mass tourism.
I am proud to be ranked as the number one tour guide in Mauritania on tourHQ, a global platform that connects travelers with professional local guides around the world. This recognition reflects my commitment to quality service, authenticity, and traveler satisfaction.
I work closely with a trusted local team of experienced drivers, cooks, and guides, selected for their professionalism, responsibility, and kindness. Together, we focus on safety, comfort, and genuine hospitality, ensuring every journey is smooth and memorable.
My personal policy is simple and inclusive: to help everyone make their trip to Mauritania a reality. Even if a traveler cannot book a tour due to budget limitations, we are always happy to assist — free of charge — by adapting itineraries, suggesting budget-friendly accommodations, and offering practical travel advice. There is a room for everyone, and travel should be accessible, not exclusive.
What defines my work is honesty, flexibility, and personal attention.
I personally design itineraries, accompany many tours myself, and remain present from the first inquiry until the end of the journey. For me, guiding is not just a job — it is a passion and a responsibility to represent my country with pride.
When you travel with Tours in Mauritania, you are not just visiting a destination — you are traveling with a local who truly knows, respects, and loves his land.
