Bir Gandus or Bir Gandouz (Arabic: بئر كندوز Biʾr Kandūz, Moroccan Arabic: بير گندوز, Berber: Bir Genduz, Spanish: Bir Ganduz) is a village in Western Sahara, currently occupied by Morocco.[2][3] As a claimed rural commune of Morocco it serves as the headquarters of Morocco's Aousserd Province and recorded a population of 4625 in the 2014 Moroccan census.[1] It holds a Moroccan military post.[4] Although sometimes called so, it is not a border post. The border post to Mauritania is to the west on the RN1 at Guerguerat although the stamp given there bore the name of Bir Gandus.[5]
In February 2023, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation announced the construction of two football fields in Bir Gandouz and Guerguerat.[6][7]
