Overview

Kitesurfing on the Lagoon

Glide Across the Wind and Waves in Dakhla’s Coastal Paradise


Overview

With its turquoise waters, year-round sunshine, and consistent Atlantic winds, Dakhla Lagoon is one of the world’s most sought-after kitesurfing destinations. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the edge of the Sahara, Dakhla offers a stunning natural setting where adventure and serenity coexist.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned rider, this activity invites you to embrace the thrill of harnessing the wind and skimming across glassy waters — a high-adrenaline yet meditative experience in one of Morocco’s most remote and breathtaking regions.


Why Kitesurf in Dakhla?

🏄 World-Class Conditions

The Dakhla Lagoon is blessed with consistent side-shore winds that make it an ideal playground for kitesurfing. Protected by a long sandbar, the waters remain flat and forgiving — perfect for practicing jumps, tricks, and mastering the basics without battling big waves.

🏜️ A Landscape Like No Other

Kitesurfing here isn’t just about the sport. It’s about the view: dunes rolling into the distance, flamingos wading in the shallows, and the sun glinting off salt flats. The sheer silence of the desert contrasts beautifully with the rush of wind and water.

🧑‍🏫 Expert Instruction for All Levels

Whether you’re new to the board or looking to refine your technique, local certified instructors are there to guide you every step of the way. Lessons are offered in multiple languages, and high-quality equipment is provided.

🌿 Eco-Adventure in a Unique Ecosystem

Dakhla’s lagoon is home to a unique marine and birdlife ecosystem. You might spot dolphins, migrating birds, and even desert foxes in the distance. This activity provides a low-impact way to experience the environment while respecting its delicate balance.


What Makes This Experience Unforgettable

  • It’s an adrenaline rush… in slow motion – Feel the surge of speed while remaining gracefully tethered to the wind.

  • Connection to nature – No motors, no noise, just you, the kite, and the ocean.

  • Community vibes – Dakhla has a friendly kitesurf culture, with beachfront cafés, yoga spots, and fellow adventurers from all over the world.

  • Ideal year-round – Thanks to its microclimate, Dakhla offers rideable conditions in all seasons.

Stories Worth Traveling For

Plan With Confidence

Booking & Customization

We believe your journey should reflect your interests, pace, and personality — not a one-size-fits-all itinerary. All of our tours are private and tailor-made, meaning we’ll design the route, experiences, and accommodations around you.

Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, planning a spiritual retreat, or traveling as a family, our team will shape your itinerary with intention and care.
We recommend reserving your trip at least 1–3 months in advance, especially during spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), which are peak travel seasons in Morocco.

Want to adjust your itinerary mid-journey? We’re flexible — just let your travel coordinator know.

What to pack

Morocco’s landscapes are diverse — you might be in the High Atlas Mountains one day and the Sahara Desert the next. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Comfortable walking shoes (for exploring medinas, kasbahs, and uneven terrain)

  • Layered clothing: temperatures can vary widely between day and night

  • A light scarf or shawl for sun, wind, or modest dress at religious sites

  • Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat — Morocco is sunny year-round

  • A small overnight bag for your desert camp (you can leave your luggage with the driver)

  • Power adapter (Morocco uses Type C and E plugs, 220V)

We’ll send you a personalized packing list once your booking is confirmed.

Travel documents

To enter Morocco, most travelers only need a valid passport. However, keep the following in mind:

  • Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates.

  • No visa is required for stays up to 90 days for most nationalities (including the US, EU, UK, Canada, and Australia).

  • Always carry a photocopy of your passport when out and about, especially when visiting smaller towns or rural areas.

If you need assistance with entry requirements, our team is happy to help.

Desert Experience Tips

An overnight stay in the Sahara Desert is a highlight of nearly every Moroccan itinerary — but it’s unlike anything you’ve done before. Here’s how to make the most of it:

  • You’ll ride camels to your luxury desert camp (about 45–60 minutes).

  • Your main luggage stays with the driver; bring a small overnight bag.

  • Desert temperatures can drop significantly after sunset — bring warm layers.

  • Expect Berber drum music, bonfires, and stargazing under a vast sky.

  • All camps we use are private, en-suite, and high-comfort — this is not roughing it.

Let us know in advance if you prefer a 4×4 transfer to the camp instead of camel trekking.

Meals & Dietary Needs

Moroccan cuisine is deeply flavorful, locally sourced, and easy to adapt. Here’s what to expect:

  • Breakfast is included at all accommodations

  • Dinners are included in remote areas (like the Sahara, Dades Valley, or rural riads)

  • Lunches are at your own leisure and often taken on the road at scenic or local stops

We can accommodate a wide range of dietary preferences and restrictions with prior notice, including:

  • Vegetarian & Vegan

  • Halal & Kosher

  • Gluten-free or allergy-conscious diets

We’ll make sure your meals are not only safe, but delicious.

Accommodations

We handpick every property for its charm, authenticity, comfort, and service. Your stays may include:

  • Traditional riads in the medinas of Fes or Marrakesh

  • Luxury desert camps with en-suite bathrooms and premium bedding

  • Boutique hotels with panoramic views, gardens, or historical architecture

All accommodations are locally owned or heritage-driven, and reflect the soul of Moroccan hospitality. Your itinerary can include upgrades to premium or 5-star properties upon request.

Transportation

You’ll travel in style and comfort with:

  • A private, air-conditioned vehicle (4×4, minivan, or executive car, depending on group size)

  • An English- or Spanish-speaking driver-guide experienced in long-distance travel

  • Door-to-door service including airport transfers

  • All fuel, road tolls, and parking included

Need an extra stop, a scenic detour, or a bit more time at a location? Just ask your driver.

Local Guides

To enrich your experience, we include expert-guided walking tours in culturally rich cities like Fes, Marrakesh, and occasionally Chefchaouen or Rabat. These guides are:

  • Licensed professionals with deep knowledge of local history, culture, and architecture

  • Passionate storytellers who help you interpret Morocco beyond the surface

  • Fluent in English, French, Spanish, and sometimes other languages

If you’d like private guides in additional locations or for specific themes (photography, art, religion), we can arrange that.

Connectivity & SIM Cards

While many travelers enjoy unplugging, we understand staying connected matters:

  • Most accommodations offer complimentary Wi-Fi

  • If you need internet on the go, we can help you purchase a local SIM card with data upon arrival

  • eSIMs for Morocco are also available via apps like Airalo

Your driver can also assist in finding mobile stores if needed.

24/7 On-the-Ground Support

From the moment you land to the day you depart, we’re by your side — literally and virtually.

  • You’ll have a dedicated travel concierge reachable via WhatsApp or phone throughout your journey

  • Whether you need dinner reservations, assistance with your accommodation, or an impromptu itinerary change — we’re one message away

  • In the rare case of an emergency or flight change, our local team is responsive and resourceful

This isn’t just customer service. It’s hospitality without limits.

What Our Travelers Say

Moments That Leave a Mark

Every journey we craft is more than a trip—it’s a deeply personal story written across Morocco’s landscapes. From the warmth of our guides to the magic of each itinerary, our travelers leave not just with souvenirs, but with memories etched into the soul. Here’s what just one of our guests had to say about their unforgettable experience with us.

“Adventure Scope Travel exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, every detail was perfectly arranged. The desert camp in Agafay was beyond magical, and our private guide in Fes made the city come alive. It felt like the entire country had opened its arms just for us. I can’t wait to come back.”
