Why choose a custom travel to Dakhla?
Dakhla is one of the most fascinating destinations in Morocco, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the golden dunes of the Sahara.
This unique city in the south of Morocco offers an exceptional setting for a custom trip, away from traditional circuits.
Our Travel Planners specialized in this region will help you create a perfectly tailored stay in Dakhla to meet your expectations.
A unique destination between sea and desert
Situated on a 40 kilometers long peninsula, Dakhla benefits from an exceptional geographical position. The Dakhla lagoon
stretches over more than 37 kilometers, creating a protected body of turquoise waters. This unique natural configuration allows
for enjoying both beach pleasures and the vastness of the Moroccan desert, just a few kilometers away.
Your personalized journey to Playa Dakhla can thus combine moments of relaxation on preserved beaches with adventures in
the surrounding dunes. Our local experts know this region perfectly and will guide you to the most
authentic spots, away from tourist crowds.

What to do during your personalized stay in Dakhla?
Dakhla offers a remarkable variety of activities, catering to all types of travelers. Your custom trip can
include varied experiences, from the most active to the most contemplative.
Water sports and aquatic activities
Dakhla's lagoon is one of the best global spots for water sports. The wind conditions are exceptional,
with constant trade winds blowing more than 300 days a year. Fans of sliding sports find here an ideal playground
to practice:
- Kitesurfing in shallow, secure waters;
- Windsurfing with perfect conditions for all levels;
- Windsurfing on waters suitable for beginners as well as experts;
- Stand-up paddleboarding to gently explore the lagoon.
Our Travel Planners can organize lessons with certified instructors or guide you to the best spots according to your level.
For beginners, intensive courses allow learning quickly in optimal conditions.
Exploring exceptional natural sites
Your stay in Dakhla can include visiting unique natural sites in the world. Dragon Island, accessible at low tide, offers a
fascinating moon-like landscape. This rocky formation, 3 kilometers long, gets its name from its silhouette resembling a sleeping dragon.
The excursion to this island can be done on foot during high tides or by boat depending on conditions.
The White Dune is another must-see in the region. This immaculate sand formation, 100 mater high, beautifully contrasts
with the turquoise waters of the lagoon. Climbing this dune provides a 360-degree panorama of the entire peninsula, especially spectacular at sunset.
Cultural and gastronomic immersion
A personalized trip to Dakhla also allows you to discover authentic Sahrawi culture. Our local experts take you to meet
fishing communities to understand their ancient traditions. These privileged exchanges often include tastings of freshly caught seafood, prepared according to local recipes passed down through generations.
The fish market in Dakhla offers a unique sensory experience, where you can watch the arrival of fishing boats and

Your customized stay in Dakhla can be optimized according to these seasonal variations to maximize your enjoyment according to your priorities.

A personalized trip to Playa Dakhla generally requires between 5 and 10 days to fully enjoy the destination. This duration
allows alternating between water activities, cultural discoveries, and moments of relaxation. Our Travel Planners adapt the duration and the budget
to your constraints and wishes.
The budget varies significantly depending on the level of services chosen, the season, and the activities included. Full board in a
quality accommodation, including airport transfers and several excursions, generally represents the most advantageous option
for a successful custom trip.
