Kitesurfing in Dakhla and everything you need to know about the kite spots around Dakhla:
Thanks to the pleasant temperatures throughout the year and the constant wind, the Dakhla lagoon is a kitesurfing paradise. For more than five years we are at the northern, “small” lagoon of Dakhla. Action-packed years with lots of wind, fun and more and more kiters… For the last two years we are forced to have a break but we used that time to renovate the hotel and build a brand new kiteschool with the latest Core, North and Eleveight equipment for you.

The Kitespot is ideal for learning kitesurfing to perfecting freestyle tricks. The kite spots offer more than enough space on the water. Of course, kite courses are also offered by certified and multilingual instructors – whether for beginners, intermediates or special courses, for example in wave kitesurfing.
The result: A perfect kite destination for beginners, intermediates, freestylers and wavekiters.
The Zenith Dakhla is located right at the lagoon and offers you comfort with a direct view on the kite spot. Each bungalow looks like a small private house. The heart of the Resort is the open restaurant with its 180 degree, panoramic view of the spot, through a large glass wall. Here, all guests gather for breakfast, lunch and dinner or simply to relax in the lounge area. Just next door you’ll find the KiteWorldWide Pro Center Dakhla with brand new equipment.
The restaurant offers a refreshing local and international cuisine and presents the best local products and delicious Moroccan traditions. 
And should the wind turns down, there are many activities to do.

Björn, Center Manager

The Dakhla peninsula possesses many assets that built its reputation around the world: a daily sun, a regular wind blowing between 15 and 25 knots more than 300 days per year, a flat and shallow water on the lagoon side and amazing waves on the ocean side. Besides being a paradise for water sports, Dakhla is also a great place for travelers seeking wild landscapes and high quality seafood.

Kitespots & Kiteschool

The KiteWorldWide Pro Center Dakhla is right at the resort and next to the Dakhla lagoon where you will have real fun kitesurfing and learning to kitesurf. The best thing about it is that there are only a couple other kite schools in the immediate neighbourhood, which means plenty of space on the water to learn kitesurfing or to try out the latest freestyle tricks.

Kitesurfing in Dakhla - perfect wind conditions all year round coupled with relaxing accommodation that will give you the energy back for the next kite session. There really are a lot of different spots that you can try out locally. For example, the spot at the famous White Dune in Dakhla or the Speedspot in Dakhla.

Extra activities

OTHER ACTIVITIES BESIDES KITESURFING

Excursions to the natural spectacle, Sebkhet Imlily

In the south of Dakhla there is a real natural jewel in the heart of the desert. Here, on sandy and rocky paths, the water flows miraculously. Sebkhet Imlily is a unique wetland in southern Morocco. In fact, you can observe dozens of large holes in the ground scattered as far as the eye can see. In contrast to the aridity of the region, these waters are rich in fish.

Stand Up Paddling in Dakhla


A good complement to kitesurfing is Stand Up Paddling in Dakhla and the large lagoon offers you plenty of space to start a proper SUP tour. Especially on days without wind, stand up paddling is the perfect alternative to kitesurfing in Dakhla.

QUAD TOUR

Discover Dakhla in a unique way! You will be picked up directly at the Zenith Hotel and start your quad tour through the desert landscape of Western Sahara a few minutes later. The sunset tour is most impressive when the sun slowly sets and you ride the quads directly on the beach by the sea.
Please remember that you will need a passport valid for at least 6 months to travel to Dakhla.
If you are not a German citizen, please ask the Moroccan embassy about the entry requirements of your country of origin.
At the moment there are no visa fees for German citizens. Think of a pen that you can use to fill out your entry and exit visa at the airport.
There are currently no direct flights to Dakhla. So there are (recently) two ways to go to the kitesurf paradise. We tested both and negotiated special conditions for KiteWorldWide guests. Of course we take care of your complete flight and travel planning to Dakhla.
Over Casablanca
Royal Air Maroc is the best airline to get to Dakhla. It flies from Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich, Vienna and Zurich via Casablanca directly to Dakhla. Journey time approx. 7-8 hours. Of course there are also other airlines flying to Casablaca, but from Casablanca Royal Air Maroc is the only airline offering flights to Dakhla.
The return flight is the same as the outward flight with a stop over Casablanca.
Immediately after your arrival, you will be picked up by the resort staff and expected on site by the team.
The airport transfer takes about 25-30 minutes (depending on traffic) and is included in the packages
