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 controlled by Morocco. As a 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.[2] 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.[3]
