6 reasons to dream of Dakhla

With December holidays fast approaching, we are dreaming of a windsurf holiday to Dakhla. With its startling desert scenery, a flat-water lagoon that stretches for miles, reliable wind and sunny weather, there are many reasons why we think festive season is best spent with Moroccan sand between our toes. Here are just 6 reasons why you too should be dreaming of Dakhla:

1. The world’s best windsurfing conditions

When it comes to reliable wind conditions coupled with an exciting windsurfing location, Dakhla does not disappoint. With amazing wind stats that offer 320 windy days a year, Dakhla is reliable all year round, including during the festive season when you really need to escape the cold in the UK!
