Kitesurfing in
Morocco300+ WINDY DAYS A YEAR

The desert lagoon

Forty kilometres of flat lagoon between the Sahara and the Atlantic — that is what kitesurfing in Morocco means. Dakhla runs on trade winds more than 300 days a year, and the kite camps and hotels we list sit on the water itself, most with a centre on their own beach. Essaouira adds the other Morocco: a walled medina, a long bay, and a wind that comes up every afternoon.
