Dakhla Lagoon (PK25 kite spot)
Lagune de Dakhla
A shallow lagoon about 37 km long, with calm water and steady trade winds, widely regarded as one of the world's top kitesurfing destinations.
The lagoon lies between the Dakhla Peninsula and the mainland. At low tide, large shallow flats are only waist-deep, and there is a northerly wind almost all year round, making it a flat-water zone loved by both beginners and advanced riders. Most camps cluster around PK25, about 25 km north of town. Most resort camps offer lessons, equipment rental and accommodation as one package, and lessons are usually charged by the hour or the day. Even if you don't ride, you can watch the sunset from the camp restaurant or take a boat tour of the lagoon. Protect yourself from sun and wind. If you drive, you'll pass a checkpoint, so carry your passport.
