Dakhla: flatwater lagoon in Morocco

Dakhla lies on a long lagoon on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. The lagoon side is shallow and calm, while seasonal winds pick up reliably – ideal both for getting started and for practicing tricks and freestyle without big waves.

Getting there

Paris-Orly: Transavia (approx. 2 to 3 flights per week) and Royal Air Maroc (approx. 1 flight per week, usually Tuesdays)

Marseille: Transavia, 1 flight per week (Tuesdays), new from 27/10/2026 to 23/03/2027

Flight time from Paris: approx. 5 hours.

Egypt: Seahorse Bay and El Gouna on the Red Sea

Both spots are reached via Hurghada Airport. Seahorse Bay offers a quiet, shallow-water lagoon; El Gouna adds more infrastructure around the spot. The Red Sea stays pleasantly warm in winter, making kitesurfing in Egypt especially attractive for the colder season.
