Kitesurfers on the shallow lagoon of Dakhla under a clear sky

Around Dakhla

On a long peninsula far to the south, its lagoon is one of the world’s best-known kitesurfing spots, with steady winds most of the year.

Why visit Dakhla

The shallow, flat water of the lagoon suits beginners and experts alike, and kite camps line its shore.

Beyond the water sports, the desert meets the ocean here: white dunes, oyster farms and long empty beaches on the Atlantic side.
