ⵣ Moknari, Morocco

Our unique location

Our village was created 100 years ago by our great grandfather...

Our great grandfather was a nomad traveling around with his goats. He moved to a different location every day, untill he fell in love with the place that we now also call our home.  

Starting from his camping tent he slowly built a big stone house to create a home for his children.

The whole story

Stop next to the cactus...​

The name Moknari came from Aknari, which means Cactus trees.

Our village used to be full of cactus.

So whenever our great grandfather returned from the market by public transport, after exchanging his goats for fruits and vegetables, he asked the driver to stop beside the Cactus.

In Amazigh language “IMI OKNARI”. The name developed over time and became Moknari, which is easier to pronounce.

Authentic experience​

Located between Taghazout and Imsouane, Desert Point Surf Camp is set in Moknari, a small and peaceful Berber village that belongs to our family. 

It offers a rare opportunity to experience the authentic rhythms of Berber village life and heartfelt Moroccan hospitality.

Surrounded by ocean, desert, and rolling hills, it’s the perfect base for your surf trip filled with high quality waves, outdoor adventures, cultural discovery, and genuine human connection — far from crowds and mass tourism.
