El Argoub
El Argoub is best known within Morocco for its setting beside Dakhla Lagoon, a broad Atlantic lagoon along the Sahara’s western edge. Sandbanks, tidal flats and shallow water give this coast its open, spare character, while the Dakhla Peninsula separates the lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean. The area’s wind and spacious water have made it an established centre for kitesurfing, with beaches and watersports camps spread along the shore. El Argoub belongs to the Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab region, whose principal city, Dakhla, developed around a natural harbour and was called Villa Cisneros under Spanish rule. Sahrawi traditions remain an important part of the region’s identity, reflected in its tea culture, music and desert heritage.

The terrain of Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab ranges from Atlantic shores around the Dakhla Peninsula in the west to arid Saharan plains farther inland, creating a region shaped by wind, sand and open water. It lies in the part of Western Sahara administered by Morocco, where sovereignty remains disputed. The long peninsula separates Dakhla Bay from the Atlantic, and its steady winds have made the coast internationally known for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Dakhla, the regional capital, was known as Villa Cisneros during Spanish colonial rule. Sahrawi traditions and the Hassaniya Arabic language remain important elements of local identity.
