Idoumou is a seasoned professional tour operator in Mauritania. His travel company has been operating over a quarter century and arranges tours in Mauritania, Western Sahara and neighboring countries. He arranges riding on the famous iron ore train, including drop off and pickup. He can make reasonable changes in an itinerary as when he took us to the Festival of Heritage Cities when he learned that we liked live music. His commitment to servicing his clients is well known. For example, he sends a staff member to the Passport Control booths at the Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International Airport to ensure expeditious entry into the country.
