Auberge Kasbah Mohayut — Merzouga Village Camp
Kasbah Mohayut sits right at the sand edge in Merzouga village, offering a mix of rooftop tent pitches and flat courtyard ground-level spots for overlanders. It’s a proper stopping point — showers, toilets, a communal tagine kitchen, and enough local knowledge behind the desk to sort your piste approach for the next morning. Camel tours are pitched hard here but easy to decline. The staff know the Erg Chebbi tracks and the state of the desert floor after rain, so ask them before you push onto the sand.
Access is straightforward tarmac all the way into Merzouga from Erfoud via the N13. Gets busy during the October–April high season and packed solid around the Merzouga Rally window. Book ahead in peak season — the courtyard fills fast.
