Dakhla is one of the most incredible kitesurf locations in the world ! A huge lagoon, open to the sea, set in the middle of the Sahara desert a 2 hour flight south from Marrakech - it has to be seen to be believed.
Dakhla is most appealing to those with a sense of adventure; the kitesurf centre is based in a well equipped camp on a sandy outcrop right in the middle of this massive lagoon. There is very little else around here except for the town of Dakhla, which is surprisingly big for such a remote spot, about a 25 minute drive from the camp.
DAHKLA BAY For the more experienced riders Dahkla offers the option for some serious wave sailing. A 25 minute drive from the camp, just past the town, you will find an awesome waves spot with side/side onshore wind and safe beach break with 2 - 4 metres waves.

The wind in Dakhla is fairly consistent bft 4-6 year round but with the best conditions during the summer months from May to October. During this time the intense heat from the desert draws the wind in from the sea due to the temperature differential.
In the main lagoon the water is generally very flat with a large area of waist deep water ideal for learning and mastering those new moves. There is also a huge beach area clear of any obstacles making a perfect training zone for kite flying.
One of the main attractions of this incredible location is the combination of both flat water for beginners to intermediates combined with an adrenaline pumping wave spot for those who dare.
Due to the remoteness of this spot there is little else to do when not riding, some would say one of its most endearing features. Being here gives you an overwhelming sensation of remoteness and space to be relished.
Dakhla is also very popular with windsurfers and there is certainly plenty of space for all. The centre has a good range of boards and sails for all levels.
The evenings in Dakhla are spent in the main tent enjoying lavishly prepared food and chatting over the days riding.
