Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab

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.
