Kitesurfing in Dakhla: the beginner's lagoon

Dakhla's lagoon is rated one of the world's best kitesurf spots, especially for beginners: shallow, mirror-flat water and a steady thermal wind from March to October (and blowing year-round). Centres offer lessons for all levels with IKO-certified instructors and recent gear; plan a few days of coaching to become independent. Advanced riders enjoy the downwinder to the bay and the ocean waves. Most camps include lodging, transfer and spot access.

4x4 trip: white dune, hot springs and desert

Beyond kiting, Dakhla is a gateway to the Atlantic Sahara. The flagship 4x4 trip heads to the White Dune, a huge wave of sand by the lagoon, then to the natural Asmaa hot springs for a soak, and sometimes to Imlili and its prehistoric water holes. Along the way you spot flamingos and camel herds. It's a perfect full-day outing for non-kiters and families, usually with lunch and transport included.

Ocean flavours: oysters and seafood

The bay's rich waters make Dakhla a quiet seafood capital. The lagoon's oyster farms welcome visitors and serve tastings of some of Morocco's freshest oysters, with a squeeze of lemon facing the sunset. On land, you can try grilled fish, sea urchins and Sahrawi dishes. A half-day combining an oyster farm, birdwatching and a walk on the sand spit rounds off a kite trip perfectly, especially on windless days.
