Dakhla offers a unique Sahara, set on the edge of the Atlantic. The star trip leads to the White Dune, a vast crescent of pristine sand plunging into the turquoise lagoon — a surreal setting for swimming and photos. The day extends to natural hot springs, the mysterious Imlili lake where fish survive in the desert, and 4x4 rides between dunes and ocean. Raw nature, far from the usual circuits.

The White Dune, the desert and the lagoon: the landscapes of Dakhla

In Dakhla, the Sahara meets the Atlantic. The flagship trip leads to the White Dune, a vast tongue of sand plunging into the turquoise lagoon — reached by 4x4 then on foot, ideal at sunset. Desert outings also explore the Asmaa hot springs, the oyster beds and the national park with its flamingos. Unlike Merzouga, here the dunes line the ocean: a setting unique in Morocco. Trips, by 4x4 with a guide, often run as a half-day or full day from town, transfer included.
