General Info:
The location and the Village In Morocco on 30 minutes from Dakhla you will find a little paradise (a beautifull blue lagoon) that and it is located the middle of the Western part of the Sahara. 
Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is a country located in North Africa with a population of nearly 32 million and an area just under 447,000 square kilometres (173,000 sq mi). Its capital is Rabat , and its largest city is Casablanca. Morocco has a coast on the Atlantic Ocean that reaches past the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Algeria to the east, Spain to the north, and Mauritania to the south via its Western Saharan territories. The seasons and Hotel info Dakhla offers you two opportunities. You can stay in a camp near the spot in a tent or in a hotel 30 minutes further. When you stay directly at the spot you can kite all time. Because of the atmosphere its a unique experience, but there is not so much to do besides kiting and when there is nog wind, the heat is hard to bear. The hotel is 30 minutes from the spot. The town where the hotel is located offers a littlebit more, the hotel in all inclusive and you can use the swimmingpoul and there is some enertainment. The food in both places are good (pasta, fish, rice, salad, meat, soup and deserts. But in the hotel the food is every day fresh and you dont have to pay for extra things like in the tent camp. The beste months to go to Daklha seems to be from april till september. Possibilities besides kiting On a 10 minutes drive from Dakhla the ocean offers you a nice wave spot. The wind is off shore, so it is a nice opportunity to train your wave skills. If you dont just want to do something more relaxing, you can go fishing, or visit Dakhla itself. 
Climate The climate is Mediterranean, which becomes more extreme towards the interior regions where it is mountainous. The terrain is such that the coastal plains are rich and accordingly, they comprise the backbone for agriculture. Forests cover about 12% of the land while arable land accounts for 18%. 5% is irrigated. Spot conditions: The beach It is a big sandy beach without obstacles. 
The water conditions The water is flat and a littlebit choppy. You can stand everywhere. The wind conditions The wind blows from the north (north-east) and is side shore from the right. From the 30 days maybe one day is windless. In the morning the wind picks up with 4 BFT and at the end of the afternoon it can already be 7 BFT. The wind is thermical, so the wind gets stronger when the temperature rises. Facilities The local kitecentres have rescue boats. Toilets, showers and food are available. 
Downwinder and trip possibilites The lagoon (50km) is so big, you can do a downwinder if you want. You can also visit one of the wavespots nearby for a surf or kitesurf session.
