Dakhla sits 1,200 km south of Casablanca on a 40-km peninsula jutting into the Atlantic — administratively Morocco, geographically Western Sahara. The Dakhla Bay lagoon is the kitesurfing draw: shallow turquoise water, 20-25 knot trade winds 250+ days a year, and a string of kite camps along the east shore. Most non-kiter nomads base in central Dakhla town for souk and restaurant density (still cheap, still small); the kite cluster sits 20-30 km out at the PK25/PK28 spots. Internet is the catch — fiber doesn't reach the camps, so 4G plus Starlink is the working combo. Morocco's 90-day visa-free entry covers most western passports; longer stays require a tedious carte de séjour process or a visa run to Mauritania.

Morocco grants 90 days visa-free for most western passports on arrival. Longer stays require the carte de séjour application — bureaucratic and slow. Common nomad workaround in Dakhla is a Mauritania border-run via the Guerguerat crossing 8 hours south.
