Dakhla
Dakhla is the mythical spot of African kitesurfing. Located in the extreme south of Morocco, this peninsula lost between ocean and desert houses a huge lagoon, sheltered from the waves and swept by a constant wind. The environment is spectacular: golden dunes, absolute silence, golden light, and turquoise water as far as the eye can see. It is a place where time seems suspended, a true mecca of global kitesurfing. Riders from all over the world come here to seek the perfection of flat, the endless wind, and the timeless atmosphere of this corner of the Sahara. Dakhla is not just a spot, it is a unique experience, between raw nature and modern comfort thanks to the camps set up along the lagoon.

Location
Detailed information
The main lagoon of Dakhla offers an immense and ultra-flat water surface, ideal for freestyle, freeride, or teaching. At high tide, the entire lagoon is navigable, with a uniform depth and perfectly laminar wind. At low tide, some areas become shallow or are exposed, but riders can still enjoy a large navigable area on the north side. The wind, blowing from the north-northeast, is constant, dry, and clean. The launch is directly from the beach of the camps, on a sandy bottom without danger. The conditions are suitable for all levels, from beginner to pro, with high-level supervision provided by the many local schools.
