Kasbah Mohayut Campground — Merzouga Desert Basecamp

Kasbah Mohayut sits on the western fringe of Merzouga, putting you within walking distance of the Erg Chebbi dune sea. It’s a brick-and-mortar compound operation — think shaded tent pitches on compacted sand, a basic shower block, and a communal area where overlanders swap route intel over mint tea. The vibe is functional and unpretentious. Rigs from Land Cruisers to Defenders fill the sandy lot from October through April. Gets crowded during European winter holiday runs and the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles window.

Access is on sealed road straight into Merzouga village — no technical driving to get here. Water at the camp is sourced locally; drink from your own supply. Cell signal is generally available on Maroc Telecom. Use this as your staging point before pushing south or east into the erg. Confirm current pricing and availability direct with the property — rates shift with season and group size.

Dunes at your door, basics covered.
