Kayak & Paddle

Glide in silence through the calm of the lagoon

Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding offer a peaceful and immersive way to discover the Dakhla lagoon. Skimming the surface of the water, you’ll explore untouched shores, observe local wildlife — flamingos, terns, crabs — and soak in the purity of the moment. Ideal for couples, families, or solo travelers, these non-motorized activities are a gentle way to exercise while marveling at the lagoon’s natural beauty.

Kitesurfing

The king of watersports, powered by wind and freedom

The Dakhla lagoon is globally recognized for its perfect kitesurfing conditions: flat water, steady winds, and year-round sunshine. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, you’ll be guided by certified instructors and equipped with top-tier gear. With a dedicated beach, tailored coaching, and a stunning setting, every session becomes a celebration of skill, flow, and pure joy.

Wingfoil & Windsurf

Ride the wind in a magical setting

Wingfoiling is the latest sensation in board sports — and Dakhla offers the perfect playground. Smooth waters and consistent wind make it easy to learn how to “fly” just above the surface. Windsurfing, on the other hand, delivers pure speed and power in an inspiring open-water setting. Whether you’re a curious beginner or an experienced glider, these sports promise thrilling sensations and a deep connection with the elements.

Downwind & Kite Excursions

A desert journey on wind and water

Discover one of Dakhla’s most iconic experiences: the downwind kite trip. Guided by seasoned instructors, you’ll ride with the wind from the camp to breathtaking destinations like the White Dune. These multi-kilometer rides challenge your limits while connecting you fully with the surrounding nature. Reserved for intermediate and advanced riders, downwind excursions are a true adventure — where sky, sea, and sand meet in motion.

Yoga by the Lagoon

Reconnect with the rhythm of wind and water

Whether at sunrise or sunset, yoga sessions by the lagoon offer a space for stillness and inner balance. Accompanied by the gentle sounds of wind and water, and the shifting desert light, you’ll release tension, breathe deeply, and revitalize body and mind. Accessible to all levels and guided with care, yoga at Dakhla Camp is the perfect complement to your active pursuits.

Horse or Camel Rides

Explore the dunes at a Saharan pace

Slow down time and discover Dakhla in a timeless way — on horseback or camelback. These peaceful rides take you across wild beaches, golden dunes, and rocky plateaus, all guided by local experts. Open to all experience levels, the journey offers a deep reconnection with the land, the rhythm of nature, and the soulful essence of Saharan culture.
