Things to do in Dakhla Airport
Dakhla is a narrow Atlantic peninsula in the southern Western Sahara (administered by Morocco) and one of the world's premier kitesurfing destinations — constant trade winds blow across a vast, flat-water lagoon sheltered from open ocean swell, drawing professional kitesboarders from Europe year-round. The Dakhla Lagoon is also farmed for oysters considered among the best in Africa. The town has genuine Saharan heritage, camel excursions into the desert, and excellent fresh Atlantic seafood at prices that reflect the remoteness.
