Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab
The southernmost region administered by Morocco, known for kitesurfing on the Dakhla lagoon and its desert coastal scenery.
The Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab region lies in the south of Western Sahara and is administered by Morocco, though its sovereignty is internationally disputed. Its capital, Dakhla, sits on a narrow peninsula jutting into the Atlantic, backed by a wide lagoon. With steady winds and calm water year-round, it is a well-known kitesurfing and windsurfing destination, and is also known for oyster farming and seafood. The surroundings are vast desert and bleak coastline, where you can experience hot springs and dune landscapes. The climate is dry and mild, suited to water sports all year. The transport gateway is Dakhla Airport.
