One of the best spots to Kitesurf and Wing Foil in Dakhla, based at Dakhla Club, in the North of the Dakhla lagoon, just a stone's throw from the water's edge (50 m at high tide or 140 m at low tide). The 100 m² set-up area and the compressor are located here, which means you can start as soon as you’ve finished setting up and you’re only a few minutes away from the water.
Facilities at this kitesurf school include storage boxes for your personal kite gear, a compressor in the large set-up area right at the centre, experienced beach staff that are on hand to help you launch and land your kite, a life boat that is ready to assist in the event that you run into difficulty in deep water, a kite washing system, free WiFi, lockers for valuables, large changing cubicles, showers and toilets.
A beach bar is located directly at the centre and the sun terrace with sun loungers and chairs offers an incomparable view of the kite spot.
