Set off to discover the wild landscapes of Dakhla in an off-road 4x4, between desert, dunes and ocean. With your driver alongside, you follow the tracks of the region and take in several of Dakhla's landmark landscapes.
Depending on the route chosen, the trip may reach the famous White Dune, a long ridge of pale sand running out into the turquoise water of the lagoon. On site, free time lets you climb the dune, take in the view, swim if conditions allow or simply settle by the water over a traditional tea.
Other formats take in the desert at sunset, or run as a half day out to a Secret Spot, with lunch on site.
Each route offers a different way of seeing the landscapes of Dakhla, always with a traditional tea break in the desert. Transfers from your hotel are included, along with a traditional chèche and a bottle of water.
Several lengths are available, from a short hour and a half to a half day, to fit the experience to your stay.
