Stand-up Paddle Boarding

On non-windy days take advantage of a stand-up paddle towards the Dragon Island where you could meet dolphins or flamingoes on the way.

The White Dune

White Dune or Duna Blanca is an ecological wonder as it is a dune of sand sitting permanently on the water of the lagoon. White unspoiled sand and the beach around it make it a must-visit.

Dakhla City

There is a lot to see in the town of Dakhla. Start with a visit to the local market and then a walk through the local souk where you can buy some traditional clothes and artisan crafts. Try a camel kebab and end the visit with a fresh juice or a traditional Moroccan tea at one of the local cafes. You can also visit the Spanish lighthouse and the local museum.

Portorico and Imili

Portorico is a superb beach close to Dakhla. It has just been reopened and is worth a visit because of its beauty and unusual stones. Imili is an exceptional landscape where you will find small pools of saltwater connected underground to the ocean. A geological and natural wonder with small fish that swim freely and enjoy tickling your feet.
